Graham Norton and his guests want to know more when actor Ambika Mod reveals that she finds it hard to close her eyes fully, and sleeps with them open.
Among the guests on Graham's sofa is knight of the stage and screen Ian McKellen, taking the role of Falstaff in Player Kings, a new version of Shakespeare's Henry IV plays.
Also, award-winning actor Michael Sheen, talking about his new Welsh BBC drama series The Way, which he also directed, Ambika Mod, starring in the Netflix version of David Nicholls’ romantic bestseller One Day, and top comic Josh Widdicombe.
With music from chart-topper Gabrielle, who performs her single 'A Place in Your Heart'.

From the Guardian interview of her (she's Ambika Mod btw) "At Durham University, after failing to get parts in plays, she instead joined its comedy group, the Durham Revue, which she ended up running in her final year. “Writing and performing comedy is never something I thought I would do, but I didn’t really have anything else, and I happened to be good at it."" so there....

@amywuester136 6 ай бұрын

My eyes don't close completely when I sleep. I only discovered it when I switched from daily wear contact lenses to the lenses you can wear overnight. My eyes were so dry and irritated and my ophthalmologist did a test to discover that my eyes don't close completely when I blink either. I passed this phenomenon down to my daughter, who has just recently passed it down to her daughter. It's only cute on a baby. 😊 So I'd love to say it's just because we don't want to miss anything going on. But in reality, it's an anatomical issue that can cause more complicated eye issues. And it's NOT cool or fun to have to deal with. 😢

My big brother (May he rest in peace) slept with his eyes open and growing up and sharing a bedroom on a farm in the early 1960’s we didn’t have night lights or air conditioning so sometimes on bright moonlit nights I would wake up and look across the room and see those glazed white eyeballs 👀 and it would always freak me out!

Until now I have only known two people who do this and these are myself and a friend of mine. :D As you can see in the video, her pupils are behind the eyelids which is why her vision is impaired when she "closes" them. If nobody had told me, I wouldn't know that I sleep with my eyes open. When I "close" my eyes everything is completely dark, but then they aren't fully closed, but they feel fully closed. One can still see the white of my eyes. 😅 Oh dear how many people have I freaked out because of this 😂
