my eyes don't shut

I have this problem where I can't keep my eyes closed when I'm trying to get to sleep. It happens about half the time, and it doesn't depend on how tired I am - sometimes I'm so exhausted I can't move a muscle but I still can't close my eyes. It's so strange. I try to drape my hand over my face so I can sort of hold my eyes closed but it feels forced, and I also tried to wear one of those eye masks they give you on planes but the fabric kept rubbing against my eyeballs and it gave me a rash. The thing is I can still sleep when I get like this, I just have really boring dreams where I'm staring at my ceiling all night and in the morning I'm never sure whether I fell asleep and dreamt it or whether I was actually awake all night. I don't drink much coffee so I don't think it's that. Anyone got any ideas??
Do you think it's normal?

Maybe get some blindfold. I think they sell them at the drug store and they are for sleeping so you cant see any light.
glue.
LMAO.
Some people do sleep with their eyes open you must be one of them
that is really weird. although i do know of some people who keep their eyes open until they fall asleep. looks like u could be the same.
Rofl, Glen! You're funny.
hypervigilence... breathe and relax... maybe meds
I had a friend that cried blood-the doctor offered to correct but he said he would keep it- becuse it was funny!
