15 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +2 sleep-logged is slang
Explanation: Sleep-logged means sleep deprived (aka lack of sleep). This will often leave "bags" or dark circles under the eyes. Because this mask exfoliates the dead skin cells (causing it to appear shinier/fresher) it claims to alleviate the dark circles caused by a lck of sleep. ...

I finally found a link with a picture. http://www.moondragon.org/health/disorders/eyesbags.html DESCRIPTION Skin loses some of its elasticity with age, and muscles within the eyelids lose tone, causing what is known as bags under the eyes. In addition, fat can gather in the eyelid, and fluids can accumulate and cause swelling. Puffiness around the eyes can also be caused by allergies or excessive consumption of salt. Smoking can aggravate the problem. DARK CIRCLES: Aggravated by anemia, ill health, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalance, poor blood circulation, and a poor diet consisting of too much fried, frozen and canned foods. PUFFY EYES: Aggravated by hypertension, poor elimination, poor digestion, lack of sleep.

To Alexander and David (and Teresa & Mara, but only a little); My thinking here is that cosmetics, facial products, etc usually advertise (and this is an advertisement, no?) that they repair or disguise the effects of whatever (poor lifestyle, poor diet, fatigue, blemishes, etc). This is a BEAUTY PRODUCT. Think along those lines. How many women complain to you about sleeping too much? sleep-logged IMO is related to fatigue which is related to dark circles under the eyes which is related to a facial mask which makes the skin shinier. I don\'t claim to be a genius, but it seems that my logic is not that far off.
