Well, in my opinion, sleeping cannot make pink eye more serious. So you do not need to worry about it. Generally speaking, pink eye, is an eye infection which will cause the white of the eye to turn red. And also, the infection normally occurs during rainy and wet season. When it occurs, redness and swelling in the eyes can be possible. To treat it, you can just try rose water. Also, for pink eyes, vitamin c intake can be essential. By the way, you can just try the chamomile tea, and just put cooled, chamomile tea bags on the eyes for 5 to 20 minutes. Of course, when you are sleeping, you can just wear a pair of eye patches to protect your eyes from further infection.
