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.

In the case of my friend, he said it was reasonable that no one wanted him in the kitchen. He kept burning himself because he had a hard time telling the difference between countertops and hot surfaces. Also, he had a bad habit of putting his face so close to cooking food so he could see what he was doing, that he was getting splattered in the face with hot grease and oils.

If he had spent his whole life blind, he probably would've learned how to get around better. But developing blindness at the tail end of high school left him struggling to figure out solutions to daily life, just as he was becoming a responsible adult who had to pay bills.

He went to Harvard to pursue a different degree path and is now working as a manager of a financial investment company.
