They often do but will also close them on occasion.
The rabbits eyes are not completely open - they have a third translucent eyelid (like a cat) which covers the eye during sleep. It is called a nictitating membrane. The other two lids (upper and lower), can remain open, but the eye is covered by the third lid.
Rabbits mostly sleep during the day. They often sleep with their eyes open so its hard to tell when they are sleeping. However, a giveaway is that when they are sleeping rabbits often twitch, and their noses stop wiggling. Other rabbits will close their eyes and totally flake out, looking like they are dead. This can result in quite a fright!
Yes they sleep with their eyes open :)
No. Kookaburras are not known to sleep with their eyes open.
Rabbits have the ability to close their eyes, but because they are on the bottom of the food chain, they are constantly on their guard. Even when they sleep, rabbits generally keep their eyes slightly open. My rabbit will close one eye and keep the other open in an attempt to trick me into thinking he's asleep. Then he tries to escape my grasp!
No. They close their eyes like us when they sleep.

Some people can sleep with their eyes open. Many 'sleepwalkers' give the appearance that they're fully awake - including having their eyes open.
Floating turtles tend to sleep with their eyes open. This ability to sleep with their eyes open helps them to stay alert and detect potential threats in their environment even while they are resting.
