But wouldn't a Dragon also be able to take a lot of damage? And in The Hobbit, it talks about Dragons 'sleeping with an eyelid open' or something like that. Not easy to sneak up on.

The fact that a dragon might choose not to fly, just brings us back to the point where the battle is pretty much even.
