that was embarassing. it's random signal analysis so its like probability and the guy was like so the probability of falling asleep today is 1. anyone else ever done that?

i wonder what it is that makes your eyelids so heavy sometimes. god damn it's awful.

Expensive naps FTL.

Sucks though, sometimes you can't help it. I know I've got a couple notebooks where the notes run off into garbled mess.

I fell to sleep in class before, but when you're starting to feel sleepy sometimes, it's hard to stay awake.

Back in HS I used to fall asleep in class every day. My english teacher got so damned mad at me but I was too tired to care.

Back in high school, I stuggled to stay awake in 99% of my class meetings in chemistry. I didn't find the material boring, but every time 5th period came around, I was just trying to keep my head off my desk or falling out of my chair. I was fine the rest of the day, so it wasn't lack of sleep.

In high school I was never really awake until 4th period or so. Almost failed calculus and had to drop out of physics because of it. I fell asleep in a CS class in college because I was working nights fulltime, no snoring but I drooled, which is worse :(

I use to fall asleep in class all the time. I didn't snore though. Although i did do a lot of drooling and occasional had the jimmy legs and would kick the person in front of me.

In my 9th grade science class I used to sleep through every 3rd period or something. It was science and I already knew more than the teacher (a funny guy from Newfounland).

I always enjoyed reading science textbooks so i would usually read ahead on my 45 min bus ride each afternoon.

I remember way back in middle school this one guy fell asleep and ripped a huge fart. It was made worse because the chair he was in was plastic so it amplified the sound. That and the classroom was dead silent because we were all reading.

Even the teacher laughed so hard she cried. That poor guy never lived that one down.

very few times have i been fully asleep in a class. what usually happens is i'll be sitting there and start to go to sleep, and when my neck relaxes and my head starts to go down ill jerk back awake.

i dunno how people can fall asleep in those cramped little chairs. Maybe it's cause I've always been pretty tall but sleep is the last thing I can possibly accomplish in those chairs

Oh man my optics class a few years back was at 1 pm. The prof was good, but the material was boring as sh!t. His voice was really lulling as well. My friend and I would spend 11-1 in the campus pub knocking back a pitcher while doing homework. 2 pints in ya, warm boring lecture hall... slept every class.

At times there are some professors who can't teach, and when they don't teach or can't, I have a habit of falling asleep. For me, its becuase the prof sucks. Then again there have been times where the material was so boring, and times when i needed to pay attention to the stuff.

I have a few classes at college right now that are "nap time" for me, b/c if I go to them, i will pass out, and if i don't go to them, i probably won't look at the material until its too late.

It's a vicious cycle, eh ;)
