they dont sleep with their eyes open. they close them. when they r in a room by their selves. they r lite sleepers and little noises wake them up. there fore if ur in the room they wont sleep that much. but they do close their eyes. i use to wonder the same thing. i didnt think they could blink. but they do sleep and if u pet them long enough and let them get comfortable u will see their eyes close. i use to think they didnt go to sleep. but they r rodents and rodents have many predators. they only close their eyes when they r alone.

It particularly relies upon on the Guinea Pig. Guinea Pigs do no longer actually sleep, they only take short naps then they are up decrease back; eating and pooping. My 6 Guinea Pigs have continually slept with their eyes open, its organic and organic instinct because of the fact they are prey animals. in the event that they do close their eyes its for extraordinarily short classes of time, yet its uncommon for them to close their eyes voluntarily; additionally they do no longer blink.

Our guinea pigs always seem to sleep with their eyes open. But maybe that's because they're light sleepers and wake up whenever someone's around.
You can tell when they're resting when they're in there corners with their heads gently down.

They sleep with thier eyes closed, but thier hearing is very good so as soon as you enter the room, they will wake up. Use a camera if you wana watch them while they sleep.

she will probably sleep when you and your family are asleep. they have very keen hearing and wake up to the noise to investigate to see if its a preditor or not. thats what they used to do in the wild.

They only close their eyes when they know no one is watching.
