That's like trying to fall asleep, but you're standing in a shower and you're nude, and the shower is still on and you're standing up, while it's freezing cold! |

how do you train yourself to fall asleep with your eyes open, is it healthy, and what is it useful for? |

I really dont think its healthy, in fact I think it can damage you eye sight. |

Staring Contests can hurt, specially if you go into Sleep Parylasis, Lol. Although I don't really know much about it. |

Your eyes need constant moisturization to stay healthy. Usually, during the day you blink whenever a wash is needed. I'm not sure whether or not you blink when you're asleep with your eyes open, but if you don't I would NOT recommend doing it. |

actually, the eyelids muscle is static: you do not force them to stay (fully) open or closed. It's just like moving your head: you use you muscles to move it, but once it's moved, it can stay still (in a limited angle of course). |

thnx for all the feedback. Yeah i didn't think it was healthy for you, i just wanted to learn something about it |

I'm very good at lucid dreaming and I have 20/20 vision. Athough I am color blind. Sleeping with your eyes open is fine. It's healthy athough I would not try sleeping with my eyes open if i were you because it's kinda of hard to swicth to. I mean I can't sleep with my eyes closed. |

Won't it help with dreaming? Like if someone walks infront of you it will be like: Woah! - My mum's cat sleeps with her eyes open! |

Well, it shouldn't be really unhealthy. After all we can really stay for extended periods with our eyes open. Our body will adjust to not blinking. But for example if you are gonna sleep somewhere other than your house, then the difference in humidity/temperature/mites could cause your sleep to be a bit discomforting. |

My cousin's friend does this naturally. It's kinda freaky but I don't think it's doing him any harm. He blinks normally so dry eyes isn't a problem. He says it's like your sense of hearing when you sleep, it just turns off untill you wake up sort of thing so I don't see any use in it. Other than freaking people out |

In childhood, I didn't sleep with my eyes open that often. I knew that I could though because my younger brother would tell me I did. In high school I was always so tired, so I tried sleeping in class with my eyes open, and it worked. I didn't do this normally though. Now at 22, it happens regularly and I have no control over it. I fall asleep with my eyes closed (when I try) and in the morning I know that they've been open the whole night because they're dried out and it feels like I've just pulled an all-nighter studying. For the past year or two I've been waking up with dry eyes everyday that make the day irritating. On top of that, everyone who sees me sleeping gets freaked out by it and wakes me up from my sleep to end their discomfort. |

I sleep with my eyes open. I always have, so I'm told, since I was a baby. It sent me into what I guess was a WILD once at boot camp. I was sitting in a class, and I blacked out for a minute. I could still hear the instructor's voice. Next thing I knew I saw everyone, but they all had colored glows around them. Then I snapped out of it. I was lucky I didn't get caught sleeping. |

i occasionally wake up with my eyes open so i know i sleep with them open but i always fall asleep with them closed so they must open sometime when i am asleep. |

My dog falls asleep with his eyes mostly open a lot of the time, and he doesnt blink. I try to close them for him because the thought of a dried out dog eyeball is kinda gross, but he seems fine. He does this 90% of the time that he is sleeping (including naps). The glands that produce secretions in your eye do not depend on the lid shutting, but you will have watery eyes. |

so how do u train youself to do it. I wouldn't mind sleeping with my eyes open. Sounds like it could be pretty sweet since i havce the ability to fall asleep regardless of my enviorment. So falling asleep with my opens during a boring class or during a seminar or dumb educational film would be quite rewarding. |
