Why Can't I Open My Eyes When I Wake Up In The Morning?

For the past couple of weeks my right eye doesnt open when I first wake up. My left eye opens as normal, I then have to really concentrate or physically open my right eye. Once opened I dont have any further issues with either eyes. Could you please let me know what could be causing this.



Thanks
