KalahariSurfer, have seen it in my mum who has alzheimers. It does look very odd.

Wizards also sleep with their eyes open… well Gandalf did dunno if the residents of Hogwarts did! 😂

My mother had that . I was waiting impatiently for her to fall asleep so I could rest myself . It was almost one hour before I realized she’s not staring at the tv zombie-like but was asleep the whole time . Very SCARY

Rabbits (and most certainly some other animals) seem to sleep with open eyes. They have a second eyelid. This is to confuse predators to think they are awake.

Scout, have seen it in some people. Honestly, looks a little creepy.
