I can’t keep my eyes awake

The Mistress of Malaphors, Naomi David, strikes again with this gem uttered in a sleep deprived state.  This is a combo of “keep one’s eyes open” (watchful and observant) and “wide awake” (fully alert) or “stay awake”.  The picture below demonstrates the fine art of keeping one’s eyes awake.  Keep ’em coming, Naomi!  Thanks to Katie Hatfield for sending this one in!
