    A bit vile for the Lord's day but with the amount of Athiests around, it mightn't matter too much. Basically wondering what the stuff in your eye is called after you wake up. I call it 'cack' but I'm sure that's not universally accepted. The OH calls it Sleep Dust ffs. What do you call it or do you know what it's actually called?

    Your other-half was right. It is indeed sleep dust.
    While you are asleep, the magical sleep fairy visits your bed and quietly climbs up onto your face. Then opens each eyelid and waves their magic wand placing sleep dust in your eye, to help you dream.

    See, wimmen know plenty of useful (non X-factor) stuff too.

    My girlfriend calls it "eye shlt".. For a non-native speaker, I think it's perfect.
