when I wake up in the morning,do I open my eyes by instinct or is it a choice? I know it would be hardto wake up without opening my eyes, what would it be possible?
ISTM (but it’s hard to be sure), I commonly wake up in the morning and lie in bed for a long time with my eyes closed. At least, I kinda think that’s what I do. And I don’t think I always open my eyes first and then close them again. Sometimes I doze off again, sometimes repeatedly, so that I may be in-and-out of it or a long time, all with my eyes still shut.
Occasionally when I wake up, my eyelid sticks to my eye, and opening it hurts like hell. (IDK why this happens).
I therefore wake up and keep my eyes shut while I work up the courage to slowly open them.
At least some of the time I would say it was instinctive.
Like when you have one of those “wake with a bump” dreams: walk, walk, walk, TRIP! Awake.
In that case I may open my eyes very quickly without thinking.
(A wake with a bump dream is a recognized kind of dream, with a sciency name. Can’t find/remember it right now though).
