The most common cause is a minor infection that causes a sticky substance that causes the lid to remain stuck together. Another possibility is impingement on the third cranial nerve (cranial nerve palsy) due to out-of-control glucose, common with diabetics. There is also a serious degenerative nerve disorder ocasionally associated with this problem.
The best advice is to see an opthamologist who will provide you with a definitive diagnosis.
Chances are it's not too serious, but this is not a problem that can be solved in an internet advice forum.
I have exactly the same symptoms - a paralysed eyelid after sleep. Did you find out what was causing your problem?
Did you find out the cause of the eyelid closed after sleep or after 20 minutes closure? My right eyelid has been doing that for a few weeks.

Thank you - I'll go to my opthamologist ASAP.
