This is quite strange. Without more information, it is difficult to give you a great answer. If he is non-responsive when his eyes roll back, this could be a seizure or seizure like activity. If he is just doing it while he sleeps, this could be normal and I wouldn't be concerned. If this is new behavior, I would have your vet take a look at him. If you are able to get it on video, this may help your vet in figuring out what is wrong with him. I hope this helps!
