The inability to close the eyes during sleep may be caused by physiological factors, facial nerve palsy, eyelid injury and other reasons.
1. Physiological factors: some people will have a gap in their eyelids when they sleep, but the cornea will not be exposed, which is a physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment.
2. Facial nerve palsy: it may be caused by stroke, infection and other reasons, which can lead to orbicularis oculi muscle contraction dysfunction and eyelid relaxation, which can make eyelid closure incomplete, and can’t close the eyes when sleeping.
3. Eyelid injury: trauma, eyelid surgery and other causes of injury, the eyelid area may appear adhesion, missing and other phenomena, can appear sleep can not close the eyes.
There may be other reasons why you can’t close your eyes when you sleep, so we suggest you go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid delaying your condition.
