The morning alarm is ringing, but your eyes refuse to rise and shine. They're so swollen shut with sticky, crusty discharge, it feels like the sandman pasted your lids with glue.
It can be alarming to have to pry open your eyes in the morning, but eye discharge is rarely harmful and is simply part of your body's natural defense system.
In most cases, waking up with oozy, crusty, red-rimmed eyes means your eyes have been invaded by bacteria from contaminated eye makeup, for example, or from extra-oily skin. A bacterial invasion can lead to blepharitis.
Here's the reason:

Sleep. (That's what I have always called the stuff around my eyes in the morning)
Conjunctivitis, which is the particularly sticky, itchy, eye clogging discharge.

it is a form of mucus that drains from the sinuses through the tear ducts, usually happens at night because of allergies in the air that irritate the sinus and or eye lids.

I call it eye goo. Not the official word but a pretty common name I think.

We've always called it "sleep", a noun... as in "rub the sleep from your eyes." the technical may be different... probably lacrimal discharge or mucropurulent discharge.

I think it is considered "mucous." It is GENERATED by the Conjunctiva.
