This is common in totally blind people, but not only blind.  Light resets our internal clock, when light does not come into the eye our clock will not reset normally. Which will cause sleep issues. Such as Not being able to sleep at night and or falling a sleep during the day.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.  Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
