        Okay, so my 8 year old kid asked me what the opposite of blinking was. I'm like, "huh?" Here's the deal: he's noticed that when you're not tired your "eyes are open by default". When you blink, they open again and "want to stay open". But when you get tired, your eyes "want to stay closed by default" and if you try to open them, then blink, they "try to stay closed again". So, he's wondering if the action is "blinking" when you're awake, what is the action of your eyes called when you're tired? Interesting observation, but I couldn't come up with a word for it.

                              Blinking is simply your bodies way of hydrating the eyes. When you are asleep, blinking is not necessary. Closing your eyes when you are tired, however, produces darkness and tells your body to start producing melatonin.
