The only class I have ever slept through was grade 11 Law last year, and i managed to do that at least 5 times, the first time i slept for close to an hour, each subsequent time i only managed 5-10 minutes, before being awoken

I fell asleep in my class the day before the thanksgiving weekend. There were like only 8 of us in the class. I knocked my notebook and pencil to the ground.

I have car narcolepsy, I swear. If I'm the passenger of a car, and its a medium to long length drive, after 15 minutes, I just narc right out. I did fall asleep in a company meeting once though, but one of my co-workers has a very soft, lulling voice, so it was kinda understandable.

QFT

I am the type that utterly fights to stay awake in a losing battle, only ending up more tired than before, notes out of a preschool handwriting attempt, and perhaps a pissed professor when it comes time for me to talk to him.

Thus, imagine me headbopping away in class - and sometimes the professor makes a funny and subconciously it reaches my mind, thus I am headbopping and grinning like an idiot.

That, and I think my mind has a "standby" mode where if I am not in a physically engaging activity for 5 minutes (sitting absolutely still) I fall asleep.

In one of my ECE classes, one guy was happily sleeping away to glory on the first bench. Now, the prof was young (low 30s) and a cool guy, so he's teaching and this kid in the first bench starts mumbling in his sleep, like every other minute or so. Everyone's laughing, but the prof is still cool, says "let the poor kid sleep". This goes on for the next 30 minutes, at which time a cellphone rings. Now we'll all stopped doing what we were doing and looking for the owner of the cellphone. Finally the prof reaches down to the sleeping kid, shakes him awake and says "hey man, your phone's ringing". Kid answers the phone, talks for 10 seconds before realizing where he is. He looks up at the prof, who's grinning from ear to ear. :D

I fell asleep in calc my Freshman year of college. The same prof taught it MWF at 2:30 and 4:30 with another class/different teacher inbetween. I slept thru BOTH calc classes! Someone rapped the desk next to me at 5:25 when almost everyone was gone.




Turned out that I had mono. zzzzzzzzzzzz

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

I did that once but nobody reacted. Heh.

Me too.

5th period chemistry. (6th period too on some days :()

Somehow it's the ONLY class I actually have the "need" to fall asleep.

It's sux because it's AP Chemistry too. Got a dam C+ on the midterm (yet the "smater" people actually failed or go lower than me, so I must be doing something right :p)

I used to sleep quite a bit. Looking back, I wish I would have slept even more.

I find that if you re-adjust in the chair by sitting up with your back as straight as possible, it helps tremendously when you can't stay awake. Believe me, it works.
