In the UK we just call this 'sleep'. e.g. 'You still have sleep in your eyes'.

In my family when I was growing up, we called this "sleepies." But I have learned that some doctors call it "mattering" and other doctors call it "rheum."

Maybe it has a medical name, as Sonya says. More popularly, one calls it 'sand', hence the 'sand-man' etc.
