(ANSWERED)
I get its to prevent dust etc from getting in, but when sleeping your body is usually relaxed and not tense, but dead people aka people who can litteraly not be tense dont have their eyes closed but slightly open, why do we sleep with our eyelids closed if they stay open when theyre not moved by muscles, doesnt our body then have to like constantly put a bit of restraint on the eyelids to keep them closed? or has it just become so natural that it barely matters

The body, while asleep is active. It can theoretically do almost everything you can do while you are awake (including driving for example), even though most of the time it just stays still.
In the same way, the eyes can be opened and closed during sleep without disrupting sleep, however most of the time they are closed. Why is this? For protection from dust, to retain moisture and reduce sensory input to the eyes
