Possible stroke? Mini stroke?

I woke up one day and saw my eyelid was very slightly drooping.. my partner said he didn't notice but I don't know if I had a stroke.

I have no other symptoms of a stroke. Is there any sources that show what happened to me isn't a stroke or is?

That wasn’t a stroke. What you experienced happens normally.

I'm not a doctor, but I did have a stroke more than 7 years ago.
What you experienced may have been scary, but was probably not a stroke.
Bell's Palsy, maybe, but even that seems unlikely.
At any point were you confused, unable to speak, have balance issues, feel numb on one side, have one side of your face droop, have a terrible headache, couldn't swallow properly?

If you had none of those, I'd relax. Sometimes worrying about something can be more harmful.

You may find it helpful to watch some early episodes of my YouTube channel about my stroke recovery journey:
