How do people sleep wit their eyes open?!


Question: I'm in a psychology class and we were talking about sleep disorders. Is it possible to sleep with your eyes open?
Answers:
I do. Of course, I have narcolepsy. My worst symptom is hypnagogic hallucinations. In a nutshell, I go into REM sleep too fast.before my body gets a chance to shut down. As a result, although I am dreaming my eyes are open and I see my bedroom. It freaks out everyone I know. They don't even know I'm asleep until I start screaming for help getting the bunnies back in the closet.

it is possible. my cousin used to sleep that way and the doctor says something is wrong with his senses.
It is virtually impossible. You can only if you have a disorder. And if you want to be able to see while you sleep, no such luck. Your mind wont record what happens when you are sleaping.
I saw a show once (maybe was oprah) where someone was born without eyelids, so they had to sleep with their eyes open
