Sleeping with eyes open

I know a few people who do this it's quite creepy sometimes, I don't know why this happens and why it doesn't makes their eyes sore because they don't seem to blink either, mind you they're never wide open...thankfully.

I don't know why either Violet, but I have seen sleepers with their eyes a little open...like just a slit. maybe it is something to do with the muscles relaxing in sleep.

My husband used to sleep like that.

Especially when he dozed off sitting in the armchair in the afternoon.



I took it many a time he was dozing until I switched the television off then a voice used to say 'I'm watching that!'.

I do it all the time Violet, Ive been told you can only see the white part of my eyes every time I fall asleep. When I close my eyes they seem to automatically go up into my head. My eyes will eventually close but also will reopen.
My daughter and I sleep with our eyes wide open from time to time. As for me I have every sleep dis function known to man, some people call it a disorder but it doesn't feel like that to me. I am a sleep talker, walker, singer, laugher, screamer, runner, jumper, kicker, on top of sleeping with my eyes open, I've never injured myself or anyone else. Make it very hard to find a good bed partner . I don't feel I need treatment, Its quite amusing to hear others tell me what I have done while sleeping. I have no recall of anything unless I wake myself up in the middle. Just yesterday morning around 5 AM I woke myself up laughing so hard at a dream I was having. I recall the dream vividly and was still laughing long after I woke up. it was so......funny to me and I'm still laughing about it!

Love to all...
