Sleepwalkers engage in their activities with their eyes open so they can navigate their surroundings, not with their eyes closed and their arms outstretched as parodied in cartoons and Hollywood productions. The victims' eyes may have a glazed or empty appearance and if questioned, the subject will be slow to answer or unresponsive.\nWhile sleepwalking itself does not inherently pose a health concern, accidents may happen as the subject is performing actions without the control of conscious mind.

Look up hypnagogic and hypnapompic hallucinations, this might get you in the right direction, almost everyone experiences sleep paralysis at one time or another.

G'day abouterachess,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nDolphins sleep with half their brain switched on and with one eye open. They breathe normally as they are above water. They cannot breather until they are conscious.They decide to take naps at various times of the day and their body shuts down. They sleep for eight hours a day on and off. They have very little if any REM sleep associated with dreaming.\n\nThey have various options for sleeping namely:\n\na) swimming slowly and surfacing every now and then for a breath; or\n\nb) rest at the surface with their blowhole exposed; or\n\nc) sleeping at the bottom in shallow water and rising now and again to breathe.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

Yes they can.\nThey dream of sounds and feelings and smells they grew up with, but no one's for sure if they can see anything. Some experts just believe that all they see is nothing since they don't know what things look like.\n\nMy mom works with sleep research and she has told me that blind people during sleep have the same brain stimuli that regular people have when they are dreaming.

Drink more water and get more sleep. You could also try putting used tea bags, cucumbers, or a ziploc baggie of cold water on your eyes for a while.

I often sleep with my eyes wide open.  I've been told by people who've seen me sleep (supposedly it's creepy) and sometimes when I wake up I'm already looking at something (usually out the window).  Sometimes as I'm falling asleep I can tell my eyes are open but my vision just kind of dims and I go to sleep anyway.

well at night, your other senses arent as useful as your sight so. at night your eye sight doesnt get better but when it looks at movement it reacts with a more exagerrated appearance

Somnambulist or, more simply, sleepwalker.

It's hard to believe that he slept with his eyes open. U have to blink and close ur eyes to keep them moist, otherwise they would dry out. I'm pretty sure there are VERY few people in the world that do that. In fact, I bet its near-to-impossible.

Talking in your sleep is called 'somniloquy'. It can happen with sleep walking. If you or someone you know is endangering themselves when they sleep walk, then a doctor should be consulted.\n\nSleep talking is a form of sleep disorder. Most sleep disorders are related to one or more of the following:\n\nstress \ndrug and alcohol use, including caffeine \nbad sleeping routines \ndepression or anxiety\n\nTry to reduce the stress in your life. Change can be hard, but getting support to work out strategies is a good start.\n\nTry some relaxation techniques. Cut out the drugs and alcohol. This includes caffeine, especially at night. And remember, some tea has more caffeine than coffee. \n\nGet some regular exercise. Try to do it during the day, as late night exercise can cause more sleep problems. \nAvoid large meals at night. \n\nGet your routine sorted. Go to bed and get up at around the same time. \n\nDon't do work or read in bed during the day - keep the bed for sleeping.\n\nTry the site below too!

The smell of lavender makes me sleepy. If I am pressed for time and need to sleep it has to be dark and I mean turn your alarm clock to the wall dark. As dark as you can make it. No tv, all those flickering lights from the screen in an otherwise dark room seems to really distract the mind and the eyeball. No music, unless you can pinpoint a song that you can kind of tune out and let your mind wander along with. No caffeine or exercise before bed...blah blah blah if all else fails turn on the weather channel.

I find that just as I am drifting to sleep, I am still conscious, and I recall that what I am thinking about is total nonsense.  So maybe it would help to think about really abstract, nonsensical things that are "gentle" at the same time, like a yodeling cactus or something.  Can't you just hear a lonely saguaro cactus drifting into a perfectly even tone that resonates through the canyon just as the moon is beginning to rise. . .and how beautiful a tone. . .zzz. . .zzz. . .
