People are saying that I just defined closing your eyes so...
Closing your eyes is just gazing into a meat curtain

Neat trick I learned from my optometrist! It can also work by poking a tiny hole in a piece of paper and looking through it.
Normally scp stories, videos or games make the entities like "the statue" sound hard to contain because the group is normally two or four people. If you just ad a crowd of say 15 those that character would be harmless.
Do it.
I mean it. You've experienced sobreity, you know how amazing you feel. When you get that itch, don't just do a quick "play it forward", because I've often found it doesn't really deter me, as it's so easy to (conveniently) forget many details of the experience.
Sit down, imagine what it feels like cracking that bottle of whatever it is open, and having it slide down your throat, burning so good as it goes...those first glorious 20 minutes as it disseminates throughout the brain and body. The rush and euphoria. The excitement. The getting away with something. The secret thrill.
Then, move onto the 4th drink. The mindless craving, the insatiable appetite. The deep hunger for the next thing, whatever it is. The need to keep that party going. Maybe you're dancing by yourself, maybe you're playing video games. This feels like the peak, but it's actually well past that point, and the descent is rather rapid.
Then, my favorite, pour the last bleary eyed drink of the night, in the low light while you're alone, likely emotional. The cloudy, zombie mind. How you don't feel the burn at all any longer. In fact, nothing really feels that satisfying any longer...except maybe one more drink. You wish you could talk to someone. Maybe you send a late night text or phone call...maybe someone picks up (uh oh). The regret starts to seep in, but you're too deep to care at this point.
Now, exhausted as the alcohol pulls your energy to the ground, it's time to stumble to your bed (don't forget to run into the door handle to get that real nice but elusive bruise of the morning). Pass out with no sleep hygiene or awareness of your current state...just "turn off" like an organic machine.
Now wake up at 3am or so, sweating and head pounding. Chug water. Take some ibuprofen. Try and sleep, but know that's not going to happen tonight. The walls you built around the regret and shame are starting to crack open, as you realize how you let yourself down. How you damaged your body. How you (even if you aren't caught) lied to everyone you know and love. Feel the weight of your decision.
Realize your hands are kind of shaky and you feel anxious and edgy. Now go ahead and entertain what you know would make you feel "normal" again, and hell, let's take a shot at 5am to calm things down. This will compound the shame, as you realize what you've done.
Now feel the depression, the low energy and overall negativity, as your brain tries to recover from the GABA unbalance you've subjected i

Have you ever had those times where you will be sitting in bed and feel like you "skip" bits or all of the night?
Yeah that happened to me but in the day.
So basically i went on a walk in the park, and i went over to this senior center to get some water. (and it's a pokestop so added bonus) i got some water and came back outside to sit down on the rocking chairs. i saw this old man walking around as i sat down. i look behind me to make sure i don't have anything in my seat, look back and BOOM! this guy is about 60 feet ahead oof where he just was. i kind of freaked me out.
i sat down just for what seemed like one to two minutes watching this guy walk along until he was out of sight. i look down at my phone AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS GUY FOR 7 MINUTES!!! what is up with time?!
those people up in my truman show headquarters have got to fix the clock
They may roll up slightly due to bell's phenomenon but not much. What you may see are Phosphenes. Which are the moving visual sensations of stars and patterns we see when we close our eyes. They are thought to be caused by the inherent electrical charges the retina produces even when it is in it's “resting state” and not taking in a ton of information and light like it does when our eyes are open. This is also why you see more patterns when closing your eyes in the bright sun(example:while sunbathing). Because light is getting through your eyelids.
Now, this is all simply when you close your eyes. When your eyes are closed and you are asleep- other factors come in to play.
I had the epiphany while laying in bed, unable to sleep- staring at my eyelids. Then the next day I did some research and learned everything else I added.
Negative pressure and stuff
