<< those hours of sleep are reasonable. I think you are lacking energy. When you wake up, do you eat breakfast? Try making some sunnside eggs with toast (ummmm) and a nice cup of milk. Also a semi cold shower might wake you up. I don't drink coffee, so I wouldn't know or recommend it. I hate morning classes. The worse. That is why my entire schedule for the past year has been afternoon and evening classes. Damn, you talking about classes gives me the chills. School starts for me Sept 20th. =(

danny~!

<< Is it just sleepiness or real fatigue that's knocking you out?

It could be you're not getting quality sleep despite the no. of hours. Or it could be a deficiency that your body is trying to make up for. Like Viper said, you need proper Zzz's, healthy food and exercise to keep your body functioning properly.

If you're noticing any other odd bodily symptoms, haul yourself off to the doc to check you out....hopefully it's not the onset of an illness.

Good luck!

Me, I usually resorted to a coffee in morning classes:)

Are those peppermint things legal?

BTW does the chick in the leather with the whip in their quicktime movie come with the mints?

errr.....I have the same problem...usually after i eat or in the morning. I wake up when the class is over and my friends just have a good laugh about it. The problem usually is the lighting in the class. If a class is well lighted and a very uncomfortable chair, the chance of you sleeping is lower than a poor lighted and comfortable chair. Just remember that you would be wasting mom's and pop's dollars for every lecture you sleep through... hee it sure helps.

Try multi vitamin & lots of water. It has been known that Chronic Fatigue could cause from low in Iron...it it more common in women than men...for a good reason ;)

You have to be carefull lowtech. The symptoms of iron poisoning are identical to those of iron deficiency. Its much rarer but taking iron is obviously a BAD idea when your suffering from too much iron.
