Currently, if your eyes are closed you can still get a sense of the light around you, and moving your head around you can tell if you’re moving it toward or away from a light source (barring maybe if you’re outdoors and it’s bright out all around you).

But what if when we closed our eyes it was like full blackout? Would blinking become disorienting? Could it mess up circadian rhythms? Something else? Or would it not really matter?

    so what you actually “see” is a nose-free impression of your surroundings

    yeah, i wish.

    I was gifted a big fat bulbous beak from my parents, it’s half my vision!

      Same. No matter how fast I turn my head, it always seems to move faster!

      I’ve got a narrow nose, and I still notice it all the time.
