sleepy eyes
Drooping, half-closed gaze
Eyes that appear heavy-lidded, drooping, or half-closed, suggesting drowsiness or fatigue.
Sleepy eyes may also describe a naturally relaxed, languid gaze that gives someone a dreamy or seductive look: She gave him a sleepy-eyed smile over her coffee.
The phrase often suggests someone who has just woken up or is fighting to stay awake.
