In that case, just go into a room of complete darkness if you can (to replicate the effect of having your eyes shut in a dark room.)

I've never OBEd without it being dark. The darkness helps me lose the sensation of being in my own body.

Having your eyes opens let you unfocus your linear, constricted mind easier. It works better when doing certain types of meditation. Affirmation-type hypnosis works really well with eyes open, because when your mind is unfocused the neural circuits of your brain loosen up and are more open to being redirected and reprogrammed.
