Has anyone ever trimmed their eyelashes?

Scissors.

I'd rather not have to put on mascara when I'm trying to study or go to sleep! That's when it bothers me most (but it bothers me the rest of the day as well, I'm just busier and don't notice it as much). It's difficult to function because they were very long and curly, but when they get to a certain length, then just turn downward (too heavy maybe?) and interlock with the lower ones. It's something like a Venus Flytrap when I blink. So, almost everytime I blink, I have to reach up and pull them apart. Then, once they are apart, the upper ones that were stuck just hang down into my eye--they are broken and no longer curl upward. My nephew's do the same thing (he has my eyes) and a couple moms in his class said they trim their kids' eyelashes to keep them from doing that, so I thought I'd give it a try. It actually does feel a lot better! You never know how good blinking feels until you can't do it properly. Just wondering how fast do lashes grow as opposed to other hair.
