When you die, your muscle fibers can no longer engage in actin/myosin cross-linking since ATP is no longer being produced. But whatever stores are left at that moment can be used. So technically your eyes can open or remain shut depending on what state they were in during death. If you sleep with your eyes tightly shut then they will stay shut, but if you sleep with them open they will remain open if you die at that moment. Also if your body remains dead a while before it's found, and decomposition is underway, the lids might retract exposing the sclera (white part of the eye). There are too many factors involved to have a certain answer.
