I’m in a psychology class and we were talking about sleep disorders. Is it possible to sleep with your eyes open?

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.

I saw a show once (maybe was oprah) where someone was born without eyelids, so they had to sleep with their eyes open

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.
