Why or why do people (including me) have a habit of pressing their eyelids shut when in the darkroom, as if closing your eyes will make it darker? Is this some sort of biological phenomenon?

Have you asked others if they do that?
I open my eyes wide as if opening wider will help them adjust to the darkness, so I can see if there is any light coming in my darkroom, or emanating from a strip outlet or a glowing dc converter.

Never close my eyes in a darkroom.
I totally do it when I process roll film but not when I do sheet.
I think it comes from practicing rolling film in a classroom with my eyes closed before I ever walked into the darkroom.
I always close my eyes—helps me see in the dark.
I keep my eyes open. Another question would be, why do people close their eyes when they're smooching...

I didn't know anyone did this. I don't. As far as I'm aware, I neither close them nor try to open them wider.
People close their eyes in the darkroom so they don't see the light leaking under the door.

I close my eyes when loading a film in a changing bag!

I close my eyes when I load film for some reason
