Default How to tell when Crested Gecko is asleep

Just a simple question,
Since they have no eye lids, how can you tell when they're asleep?
I know they are nocturnal, but is the dilation of the pupil how you tell?
Just wondering.

The pupil is nearly closed and the eyes are kind of sunken in.
If you got a crested gecko with a wide crown, sometimes it seems to "hang down" over the eyes a little bit.

As mentioned above their eyes tend to look a little sunken in.

Not only do the eyes tend to look 'sunken', as mentioned above, but the crests also have a tendency to droop slightly, so they go from this:



...to this when snoozing
