peepy

Barely keeping eyes open

Peepy describes eyes that are partly closed or heavy with sleepiness, or a state of drowsy fatigue: The baby's getting peepy—time for bed.

The word is informal and affectionate, used especially with children.

It can also describe something that peeps or peers out in small glimpses: peepy little eyes watching from the bushes.
