I would assume it's to keep them from drying out and to block out light.

you think too much with your eyes open, you have to shut down at least a certain degree of the thought processes to go to sleep.

I have never known anyone who can sleep with their eyes open, have you?

My husband and my son sleep with their eyes open, it is very creepy.
