Most of the time when I'm reflecting, contemplating or planning I sit with my eyes shut. Whether it's the weeks menue or what to do with that 5M lotto win, I find it easier to concentrate. H often thinks I'm sleeping grin
I don't always realise but I find myself doing it when talking on the phone to friends or D too blush
Any one else, or am I wierd ?

Since contributing to this thread, I have been, to a certain extent, monitoring myself and I have been surprised just how much I do close my eyes when concentrating on anything that does not actively require me to use the sense of sight.

Like marionk I realised I closed my eyes during my pilates class, once I had checked by looking at the instructor or other class members that I was doing each exercise correctly.

However I do not do it when with other people, in the way Saak and Caroline have described.

I certainly don't do it when conversing face to face. Caroline
