Eye Bogies

[4getmenot]

Now I wake up with eye bogies all the time, and I have always called these sleep. But when I said I had sleep in my eye the other morning no-one knew what I was on about. I have asked numerous people over weekend what they called eye bogies and I have had the answers sleep dust, sleepers, wakers, sleepy men, so which is the correct answer?

We used to call it sleepydust, surely 'sleep' is the act of sleeping, rather than what's produced while you sleep?

[bednobs]

sleepydust here too!

We have always called them Eye Bogies since we were little kids although I do know some people that call them "Sleep".
