| That crusty thing is called sleep; e.g., You've got sleep in your eyes. |

| Although NZ English does have "the sandman", in my 41 years I have NEVER heard that substance called "sand". In NZE it is always "sleep", as in, "you've still got some sleep in your eyes". That's what it's called even among children, and speaking of sand would make listeners think of the beach. Vive la différence! |
