Eyes rolling back

Hey this is my first post and it is very important. When you close your eyes is it true that your eyes roll back into your head. even if your not asleep like if i just close them for a couple seconds do they roll back. Thank you this is a very very important question and it needs to be answered asap!

yes this does happen and it has a name for it too! its called Bell's phenomenom, which is a natural mechanism. when you sleep your eyes do roll upwards and slightly out and this is a good thing because your cornea which is the front surface of the eye doesnt dry out and have exposure which will cause some corneal problems.
