Eye gook
What the heck is the purpose of that stuff that is in the corners of your eyes when you wake up?
Could it be some sort of master plan to force you to sleep more by "gluing" your eyes closed? Or keep you from poking yourself in the eye with your finger because you shy away from it when you touch it? Maybe it's an evil plot to help you injure your eyes while rubbing them clean so you'll have to get glasses or at least see the eye doctor once in while.
Could there be any useful function for it? Like maybe you could build something with it (granted it would have to be very small or take really long time to make something big). Or maybe it has some useful chemical value, like some miracle drug (although we wouldn't be able to tell anyone where it comes form or they would never willingly put it in there mouths).
It seems to me there must be a purpose for it, or we wouldn't keep making the stuff every night.

Eye gook comes from the same place that makes the mouth disgusting in the AM: germs and dead skin. Lovely thought, eh?
The gook collects because we don't blink our eyes, allowing it to be removed--sort of like Man's version of windshield wipers.
I really do wish, tho, that it was meant to be a way to make us sleep longer--but if that was the plot, it ain't workin', babe.
Love ya,
