What do blind people see? (feddit.uk)

Like, is it just total darkness or, the opposite? Is it easier for them to fall asleep given that there's no light to distract them whilst trying to nod off?

I feel like an absolute ass for asking these questions, and I'm honestly not trying to hurt anyone's feelings or anything.

I read a good description on Reddit once. Imagine what you see out of the back of your head. That's what a completely blind person sees.

I know a blind guy who used to see for half his life, like roughly 16 years and then became super blind. He told me it's nothing like closing your eyes. He sees as much out of his eyes as i see out of my elbow. This still kinda fucks with me
