Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are experiencing burning sensation in both the eyes because of inflammation, allergies, infections (conjunctivitis), fatigue, inappropriate sleep. Wash your eyes with clean water. Sometimes, redness, swelling and burning sensation can indicate serious diseases like glaucoma or uveitis. Get your eyes checked up by an ophthalmologist to screen out any developing problem. Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.
