How is it possible to sleep with your eyes open?

It is creepy, but when people sleep walk they move around with their eyes open. It's scary.

You are just able to shut out the external annoyances

eew i dunno but my aunt does it all the time and so does her kids...it's creepy!!

I researched it, and I found this; [Quote] Most people and children who sleep with one or both eyes open do so only for a short time, probably as a symptom of extreme sleep loss. However, in some cases open-eyed sleeping can cause or indicate a far more serious condition.[End quote] However, if you don't have a extreme sleep loss symptom, it could just be genetic,so I don't think you should worry too much about it. Open eyes sleeping is called lagophthalmos, but usually that's only one eye . . .

some people when they are too tired, they can sleep with their eyes opened, and they don't realize it, i once ever saw a fat man, sleeping in the bus, with his eyes opened, and his eyes is a little bit red coloured on the edge, and half of his Iris is hidden behind his eyelid, it's kinda scary ... his mouth was also opened, ...

A little brute force never hurt anyone (see source)
