Sleeping with Eyes Slightly Open

Hi cearn, I have seen that in kids, when they sleep eyes are open partially. I can’t remember any similar incident with grown ups. About myself, I think I am closing my eyes completely and till now nobody said that I am sleeping with half open eyes. I have no idea why people sleep with partially opened eyes, somebody told me that, the people who sleep like this are more responsible (lol) I wonder, how?

Hi cearn25, In so far as I know, I sleep with my eyes closed. No-one has ever told me different! I know what you mean about seeing someone asleep and their eyes partially open, it's freaky, isn't it?! I have a niece who sleeps like this, and what makes it even freakier is that her eyes actually move with you.....like when you cross the room and she's sleeping, she will follow you with her eyes half open/half closed.....but she is really asleep!! No-one else in her family does it. I find it so weird!! IrishGal77 :)

I don't think that sleeping with the eyes slightly open is a 'cause for alarm, but it's still best to consult a specialist about it. There's actually a sleeping disorder in which people sleep with their eyes literally open, and this is something serious since it might be due to some problems with the nerves.

Normally people sleep with their eyes closed. But there are a few who sleep with their eyes slightly open. This is nothing abnormal. It is treated as a natural phenomenon. But if the eyes are widely open, there is chance of development of exposure keratitis. Under such development, the victim needs to use any lubricating ointment before going to bed.

It is possible that one sleep with open eye but the eye lid didn't fully open it juwt not close up completely. This is due to some defect or habitual problem. I had seen this way before and also getting the problem solved. Try to go to doctor and get proper treatment of boy else with it will remain for long time in his young age. Though it is not a problem but not good also see better get it treated well.

I've seen many videos on youtube containing unknowing victims, who were sleeping with their eyes slightly open. In most cases, their friends or family took the video for a laugh. Sometimes, it just might be a coincidence, like the position you fall asleep in. Maybe he finds it more comfortable. If it is a habit, however, maybe it indicates some sort of disorder.

My husband and I both always slept with our eyes completly closed. I've heard of people who sleep with their lids half open but never seen it. My sisters best friend would sleep with her eyes almost fully open she said it was really creepy. I cant imagine why or how someone could sleep like that. My kids eyes both look completely closed when they sleep but in all the pictures I've taken of them while they slept their lids are open very slightly.

I think that many of us do that. Where we are in a state of really not going asleep but we are not quite awake. I have noticed people who do that, where there eyes are kind of sort of open but they are not quite in the world of being awake. Of course, there are times where we are partially woken up. I notice that a couple of times, some people who mumble in their sleep are like this, where they are not quite awake but not quite asleep as well. It is just something that I find rather interesting to ponder. It is just an interesting quality, eyes partially open. Then again, I think that many of us may find that when we don't truly get to sleep right away, when we try and open our eyes, mentally we are awake even if we are physically trying to push ourselves to sleep. It is just really something that is intriguing, an intriguing phenomenon. Sleeping with eyes kind of open.

I sleep with my eyes partially pen it looks freaky to me.. My mom took a picture of it once since i couldn't believe it myself. One of my friends saw me sleeping and thought it was creepy too. I wonder why some people are like that....

My husband always teasing me because he said I'm sleeping like I'm not because my eyes were half opened *LOL My second child, ages 4, were sleeping just like me - half open-eyed! I used to laugh at him whenever I see him like that and my husband used to laugh at me when I laugh at our child because, it's like, I'm laughing at my self as he says, because we're alike *LOL We had fun in that state of sleeping of me and my second child *LOL

This seems odd actually, since I only saw kids sleeping with eyes half open, but I haven't seen an adult sleeping that way. Maybe kids are too lazy to close their eyes when sleeping (hahaha) I don't know anything myth, or any relevant things when a person sleeps with half eyes close. I only know one kind of rare condition with people who doesn't have eyelids and they are able to sleep with eyes wide open.

Hai...! I am sleeping, closing my eyes..., not slightly open. What is your? I never seen that. But just hear that. Now I remember that. Now I wanna see that. But no one is there in my family or relative sleeping in this way... Good discussion. Happy myLotting.

I do sleep with my eyes fully closed.I do see some of my friends who sleep slightly opened eyes which sometimes I thought that still awake and staring at me.

My brother has always slept with his eyes partly open, and now my baby does it too. It's certainly weird!

Maybe it's a natural thing for him? I've seen people sleeping with eyes partially closed and i dun think it's of any problem for them. As long as they get to sleep soundly, it should be fine? At least it beats sleeping with eyes wide open and i really dun know how people are able to sleep that way.. lol Closing of eyes while sleeping is caused by heavy eye lids when we are sleepy, and it's common with completely shut eyes. For partially shut eyes, i guess it's to do with their eye lids as well? haha

hi cearn how would I know if my eyes are shut or parlty open if I am asleep? come now sleeping p eople are not aware of themselves when asleep.I suppose I have my eyes closed. my roomie does that at times and its really a bit unnerving as I think she is aware and talk to her only to find shes sound asleep. I wonder what does make people sleep with their eyes partley open?

If I could sleep with my eyes open, I would have probably used this ability at school during lessons... I can only sleep with my eyes closed, and don't know about anyone who keeps them slightly open, but it's interesting to learn about it!

Someone sleep eith their eyes open utterly.I recalled a joke adout this.If skin in my face is not enough.I need open my mouth when i close my eyes. haha
