    I know someone that sleeps with his eyes open. I guess it's a health condition with the muscles in his eyes. The first time I saw him sleeping I actually started talking to him like he was awake. I was embarrassed when he didn't resond. He told is later about it.

    It's normal. When your eyelids are relaxed, they will be in a relaxed position. For some people, that position is a closed position whereas for other people, that position is slightly open. I recommend a face mask for sleeping which will gently hold your eyelids in a closed position. I've seen my older brother sleeping with his eyes partially open several times. I've noticed while meditating that sometimes my relaxed eyelids will start to open slightly so perhaps my relaxed position is slightly open too.

    happens to me too, don't force your eyes shut because it will probably make them hurt the next day
