Hello,
Easy and unexplained bruising should always be investigated. Firstly the liver causes should always be investigated. Anemia and deficiency of vitamins C, K, B12, or

causes of easy bruisability. Try taking iron tablets and multivitamins for some days and see if the symptoms improve.
If the symptoms do not improve, get yourself evaluated by a physician and look out for

Irregular sleep

, liver diseases or leukemias. Anti-clotting (anti-coagulants) medication also can cause increased bruising.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
