Why do people usually sleep with eyes closed?

(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

Because your eyeballs would dry out and that would be painful. Try keeping your eyes open without blinking and see what happens.
