I am sleeping around 00:30 midnight until 4 am only and then I move to my office at 6 am come back to home by 4 pm. This was my routine since 10 years. Only 4 to 6 hours i sleep hardly. Please advise me what should i do!!!!.

Hello,
It seems from the history that you are having shivering of the eyelids and it is called as blepharospasm. Since you have undergone all the investigations and all have come normal no need to worry. This condition is called as essential blepharospasm. It will come down with medical treatment and you can apply col compress to get symptomatic relief. If it wont respond to medical treatment the next option is injection of botulinium to get relief from symptoms. Please do consult eye specialist for further advice.
Thank you
