We have 12 months.

In every month we get 28 or more days. 

So that implies we get 28 days in each and every month.

The letter 'X' resembles the same as the tool AXE in sounding.

Hence, the alphabet X is a tool.

In each row, 

Sum of 1st two digit number + last two digit number = Middle two digit number

i.e., 1st row 15 + 40 = 55

2nd row 46 + 47 = 93

Similarly, 7x + 16 = 87 => x = 1.

As you were asleep, none of the things could have happened without doing "open your eyes" first.

Let the required number be 'X'

Condition 1 :  

$$\begin{gathered} XX = 2X \\ => 2X2 = X \\ => X = 12 \end{gathered}$$

Condition 2 :

$$\begin{gathered} X × X = X2 \\ => X = 12 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, 12 is the number which becomes double when it is divided by itself and becomes half when it is multiplied by itself.

A Sandal.

It has sticking strips to make them fit for our feet. If you bind them only you can start walking or other wise it comes out.

Let the two digits be x & y

From given data in the question, we get

x + y = 3(x - y)

x + y = 3x - 3y

=> 2x = 4y

x/y = 2/1

For having the 2:1, numbers satisfying are

12, 21, 24, 42, 36, 63, 48, 84

From this 36 is eleminated because it is a perfect square and no others are prime or perfect squares.

Hence, there exists 7 such 2-digit numbers => 12, 21, 24, 42, 63, 48, 84.
