Blinking is the body's way to clean and moisten the eyeballs so they won't dry out. Blinking is also a reflex reaction to a movement toward the eyes, and serves to cover them and protect them from damage.

It also stops the eyeballs from drying. Although, some people can keep their eyes open while sleeping.
