Suggest Treatment For The Inability To Shut Eyes At Night

I am having a hard time with taping my eye shut at night. I have tried other things also with no help--gauze, eye patch with gauze, cotton balls, and cotton rounds. What else can I try because I have not been able to use anything at night and I know that is not good. Its hard to sleep with something on my eye anyway. Is there any other suggestions you have for me? I need help so bad. Thank you so much in advance and for taking my question. I will be here for the answer or anything else you can help me with. Thanks again.
