But if a bear wakes you up in the middle of the night, it’s pretty helpful to have your eyesight maintained, even while sleeping, in order to just wake up and go
I’ve never been wakened by a bear, but so many times by babies! Not lately, bc I’m old and they somehow survived to adulthood. But I’m glad my sleep deprivation was not compounded by blindness.
You still have vision even when your eyes are closed, and even the small amount of light that gets filtered through your eyelids as the sun rises in the morning is a significant enough stimuli to trigger the biological responses that are related to regulating sleep and managing your circadian rhythm.
I don’t know about OP, but I tend to close my eyes when I sleep

…or bears.
Maybe you shouldnt have eaten their porridge and slept in their bed.
Yeah. Plus sleeping with their pet human probably didn’t do you any favours
I don’t know about you, but I like to watch dreams when I sleep
