 Playing Eyes Closed?

Question for absolutely everybody.... in fact, I should post this on the BBoards for other instruments too.

When I was a student, my teacher would encourage me to play scales etc. and also memorized pieces with my eyes closed. His contention was that this removes distractions.

He was right that it removes distractions, but I tend to "drift" and loose focus.

What are your thoughts / experience / recommendations on this?
