bleariness
Eyes not focusing
Bleariness is the state of having bleary eyes—tired, unfocused, watery, or slightly inflamed from fatigue, crying, or irritation.
It extends to mental fogginess: the bleariness of jet lag, morning bleariness before coffee kicks in.
The word suggests that familiar state of not quite being able to see or think clearly.
