The medical term is rheum, and it's just a natural buildup of dried tears, mucus, and dirt. A possible sentence might be: I didn't sleep enough for rheum to form in my eyes. However, that sentence is really awkward and most people (non healthcare professionals) might not have any idea what you're talking about.
