Technically you don't, in the military they are trained to sleep with their eyes open

the eyes are the window of the mind , so sleeping is technically shutting down your brain and relieve it from working and closing the eyes is just like cutting off the power from the brain so it won't interact with outside world.
and by the way why do you want them to be opened any way?

I think your eyes would dry out being open for an entire night and that would damage the delicate mucous membranes in our eyes.Also it's an automatic nervous system response for your lids to close and your chin to drop as you go from an awake to sleep state.

There are a few people whose eyes stay open after they fall asleep. It looks really weird.

How else will the elves and fairies sneak into our room and sprinkle magic dust on us?

Our eyes would no doubt dry out if we didn't.

so you wont be able to focus on anything. focussing on anything causes you to react on what you see.
