Who has time for sleep these days? Between your job, your kids, your marriage and your friends, it feels like you'd need to add five or six hours to the day to have time to fit in the right amount of shut-eye. Unfortunately, all those late nights show on your face - usually in the form of dark under-eye circles. Want to get rid of them and look more refreshed? Here are a few tricks.

Thought placing cucumbers over your eyes was just a cliche for the movies? Think again - this well-known spa treatment is actually very effective at treating under-eye circles. Cucumber slices help to lighten and moisturize the skin - and they're also soothing and refreshing when they touch your face. Lay back and leave some on for 10 to 15 minutes to instantly perk up your look.

If you can't get rid of your circles, under-eye concealer is designed to help camouflage your sleepless look, so pick some up the next time you're at the drug store. Look for a concealer with yellow undertones, as these will cancel out the purple in your face and help restore your complexion to a more normal shade.

Of course, the best treatment for looking sleepless is, well, getting sleep. If something can wait until tomorrow, let it - and get those 40 winks.
