Not closing eyes fully whilst asleep, dry eyes and blepharitis

So apparently I just found out my eyes don’t fully close whilst sleeping, I suffer with dry eyes and blepharitis however my blepharitis does NOT consist of red eyes, flaky eyelids etc it is mainly just irritation in the outer corner of the eye.

I researched a little and found something called nocturnal lagophthalmos which I may have.

Could nocturnal lagophthalmos be causing my dry eye and blepharitis and / or provoking it more so?
