magidI'm too lazy to make an official LJ poll, but I'm curious, so...
You're in a dark room (perhaps in bed, or a blackout, or something), talking on the phone. Are your eyes open or closed?
Postscript: Would your answer change if you had been woken up by the phone?

Date: 2003-09-24 10:28 am (UTC)I can't hear without my glasses.

I understand that, actually. Glasses => brain on, focused.
Possibly related: the friend in college who couldn't talk when I held his hands behind him.

Date: 2003-09-24 12:31 pm (UTC)If I'd just been woken up, was still very tired and not inclined to really wake up, then they might be closed because of that. Then I'd let the other person do the talking and fall asleep. :)

Date: 2003-09-24 03:44 pm (UTC)Open. Unless I'd been woken up, in which case I would be fighting between closed (sleeeeep) and open (so as to not fall asleep mid-call).

Date: 2003-09-25 09:36 am (UTC)I just have to ask: in astronomically correct configurations?
(I don't have enough knowledge to do this myself, but always thought it would be neat.)
