I have never done it, but I knwo someone in my class who did. The teacher actually called them to wake them up (it was an 8am final) The student came over in her PJs and the teacher let her stay extra time to finish it. I htought it was nice. the girl wasn't planning on sleeping at all that night, so had no alarm set, and just passed out. But then I have a very small college and the teachers make it a point to get to know all the students, so they know if you're legit or not.

once i had a midterm that i didn't even know about, and it just happened to snow the day of the midterm and so the test was cancelled. i didn't find out till the next day when an email went out about it being rescheduled. this was in a programming class that i never went to...i ended up getting an A thanks to the snowstorm as opposed to the F i would have gotten otherwise.

About a month ago I slept until 11:30 one morning. That morning I had a test in online astronomy that I could take anywhere between 9 and 12, and a test for digital computer structures that I could take between 10:30 and 11:45.

I decided that since I had never met the teacher for online astronomy, I'd best take that test, so I rushed over and finished it in time. Then I rushed to a different building and caught the other teacher in his office, and he let me take the test. Got lucky that day.

I actually had nightmares about doing this very thing when I was in college! :frown:

Your best bet would be to tell the truth. College professors hear so many lies that the truth might just be refreshing.
