I sleep with my eyes partially open .....?

I sleep with my eyes partially open. I blink and such like I would when I am awake. Does anyone know if this is harmful or if I should ask my Doc. about it. I have done this since I was a baby, and 2 of my children sleep like this also. So, I am wondering about nay health effects it may have. We also suffer from Ehlers Danlos syndrome ( a connective tissue disorder) and have never thought to ask about it. Does anyone know anything about this? Do you sleep like that? Or no people who do?

My son sleeps like that but it is due to a neuro-muscular problem. I know that sleeping with eyelids partially open is a sign of many muscular disorders but I'm not sure about a connective tissue disorder. I'd ask your doctor next time you see him/her.
