I don't think any snakes have eyelids.

No.They do not have eyelids...that is what seperates the snakes from lizards,especially the glass lizards which are a legless lizard that resembles a snake.Snakes have a modified scale that is clear and protects the eye.When they shed it is shed with the skin and if you look closely you can see it on a shed skin.Sometimes in captivity the humidity is such that an eye scale is retained and gives the snake a silver eye look.This problem can be taken care of using a moist paper towel to rehydrate the eyescale and then scotch tape applied and gently pulled to the rear of the head.It will slough right off.
Snakes indeed sleep,they sleep a lot.Usually if a snake has a vertical pupil it will be closed or nearly so whilst sleeping....Z

No species of snake have eyelids. They do sleep. They just go under something dark. That way the light doesn't bother them.

Not exactly they have a thin membrane that keeps eyes moist and protected. Yes they sleep, in the heat of the day they curl up in a cool place like us.
They have transparent, fused eyelids

No, they dont........... Snakes do not have eyelids. Their eyes are protected by a clear scale like a contact lens. So they cannot blink or close their eyes
