I sleep with my eyes open, what is this called?!


Question: I sleep with my eyes open, what is this called.?
I am 23 and I sleep with my eyes open. Its not your normal "cracked" open, or a sliver. I sleep with my eyes completely wide open (it makes me look dead, its really creepy). I can't seem to find out what this condition is called. It causes dry eye, and extreme fatigue. If anyone could help me out, that would be great, thanks.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It's called "lagophthalmos."

I write fiction and needed to know the term. That's what a doctor who is a family friend called it. I've also included a [normally crummy] website that happens to have pretty good information on it.Health Question & Answer
