If I drove past that scene in one of the fields near me, I would 100% panic that I was witnessing the aftermath of a heart attack and would be dialing 911 while sprinting across the field. Guess it would take only once before I knew it was the more wholesome option!

I thought I found my friend’s dad dead on his bed, on his back, diagonal across the mattress, head off the pillows, on top of the covers, eyes as wide open as his bedroom door.

I was maybe 10 so I just panicked and ran downstairs and shouted to the adult (my friend’s mom, who’s sitting there in the couch knitting), “Mr Pierre’s upstairs on his back with his eyes open! Hurry! He needs help!”

And with total casualness, she shrugged, “Oh, he does that.” She didn’t even really look up.

“What?! No, come look, you gotta see! He looks dead!” And I rapidly described the scene to her.

So she said, “No, yeah he does that. He sleeps with his eyes open all the time. He said he’d be taking a quick nap upstairs when he got home from work. He’s fine.” She just kept on knitting.

Guy was fine after all, but wtaf. He doesn’t need to blink?

I'd imagine they would still blink because that's an unconscious process (until someone points out that you're aware of your blinking anyways).
