I've had sleepies for years. I remember not being able to open my eyes as a 4 year old without a warm wet clothe applied. Eventually, I had my tonsils removed at 4 and have always felt like there might be a correlation between the two. Mother told me that my eyes got better after the tonsils were removed, but still at 40+ I'm the one with the sleepies in the corners of my eyes all day long. It would be nice to see the sleepies disappear!
