Drooping Upper Eyelid Without Covering Iris, Touching Top Of Pupil. Due To Tiredness?

I took notice to my L upper eyelid drooping. It does cover the iris and touches the top of my pupil, however I don't really have other indicating factors of ptosis that is particularly evident. I looked at other pictures of me and it isn't obvious like it is now, but then again I'm smiling in most pictures and my eyes tend to narrow when I smile. I find it really unattractive! Is this something that will go away? Is it because I am tired?
