What is the reason for sleeping with your eyes open?

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: It has been like this since childhood, never treated
Previous Treatment and Effect: Never been treated
Help Needed: Want to know what this symptom is and how it can be treated

Doctor's answer:

Open your eyes while sleeping does not open them as wide as when you are awake; instead, when you look closely, you may notice them slightly open. This should be related to the control of the eyelid muscles. If it really bothers you, you can visit an ophthalmologist, but it will not affect your sleep, so there is no need to worry too much.
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, this symptom is related to spleen deficiency. Spleen deficiency can lead to a condition where the eyes are exposed during sleep, so it is important to regulate it in a timely manner to avoid affecting your vision.
Recommendation: It is suggested to use herbs that strengthen the spleen for regulation, such as Gui Pi Wan. I believe the effect will be quite ideal. At the same time, pay attention to strengthening nutrition and avoid overexertion. It will gradually improve. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
