Closed eye(s) and drowsiness. (self.Blind)
submitted by rubberrobbyy
I currently have one eye closed during the day, however since I've started doing this I've been dealing with some unexpected drowsiness when I shouldn't be experiencing that at all. So it made me wonder, to the blind people that keep their eyes closed, do you want to sleep more when you keep your eyes closed?

My dear friend is fully blind, keeps his eyes closed, and has no sleepiness or issues with circadian rhythm.
I have partial vision (light / shapes) in both eyes, but when I keep one closed, I’d always get... agitated. It could be my reaction to sleepiness, I never have figured it out. Instead, I use an eye patch when needed.
The cause is slightly interesting. My right eye was dominant, but useless now. But oddly enough it seems to try to take over sometimes... and I get the worst headaches - so, eye patch.

Nope, it doesn't make me want to sleep more. It's a cool trick, though.
