Ok.. am I the only person that's going to mention a GUIDE LINE?
Somehow this got into a convoluted discussion of lights, the universe,
& everything . In a white out, you'd  better be on the line..So, that
in mind, is it better to keep your eyes open or closed?
  I dunno, I heard somewhere closing the eyes is supposed to help if
you're prone to nausea or loss of equilibrium during a sensory
deprivation. Me, I keep 'em open, in case there's a break in the vis.
  Psychologically, that reassures me more than not knowing, but maybe
that's just me.
