Sleeping In Class

[Jay_Quessir]

What class do you fall alseep in the most?

[Bertrand]

Almost any language class. :noface: :faint:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Since I'm on homechooling, I can get away with nearly any class :evil: mostly math and social studies though. But when I used to be in public school, I didn't fall asleep often, but if I did happen to it was ALWAYS math :sleep:

[Madrigal]

History... my favorite subject, but not with this teacher... he is SO boring it's not even funny. The best thing was, he told us awhile ago he felt like he was talking to a wall. I was tempted to say something along the lines of 'takes one to know one.'

[C_ris]

me? fall aslepe at uni? not in classes, FAR too noticeable! Rarely in lectures as well (unless I spent all of the night before writing an essay) as you have to keep up with the note taking!

[NeouofPern]

I don't normally sleep during classes.... Though I find I'm most likely to in Algebra.

[dae]

science the teacher that talks to us is boring and repeats himself ten odd times

[Dux]

I've never fallen asleep in a class (I'm too light a sleeper) - but I did have a class in college that I swear was taught by a man that could put an insomniac to sleep.

[Dawn]

I never fell asleep either, but I did do a lot of nodding.

[Milo]

I'm with bronze, home schooly, but I dozed off in one of the ever so boring drivers ed movies the other day.

[Lady of the weyr]

I rarely did but when I did, it was in break or something i knew, as I liked most if not all of my subjects, specially history, geography and english!!!! I now do the same thing in college!!! I ended up choosing History and Geography for my options, glad i did though, as I got a B in History and a C in geography.

[-H-]

When i was at school, a girl in my class actualy did sleep through a whole 2 hour lesson.

Now my teacher being a very understanding but evil teacher (i learn't it all from him ;) :devil: ) decided rather than wake her to make her learn a lesson in the best way possible!

We all trooped out quietly from the classroom ... down the coridoor into another vacant classroom, and conducted the rest of the class there!

We all made sure that we were finished early in order to stakeout the other classroom just before period change ... (when the very loud school bell rang) in order to amuse ourselves at the startlement of the poor girl :rofl: a fond memory from school i must say ;)

[Bobbsy]

Even though I actually enjoyed the class, Art History at uni was sometimes fatal for me. The main lecture was a couple of hours late on a Friday afternoon...and generally took place in a darkened projection room complete with cinema-style (i.e. padded) seats.

The fact that I didn't ALWAYS sleep (and passed the course) was a credit to the lecturer!

[Elianth]

Ohh, Spanish or Algebra. Sometimes I just can't help myself. :blush:

[Jay_Quessir]

I forgot to tell you what class I fell asleep in...

Well, most of the time it is Biology. Especially when we are writing down the 50 odd vocab words and their definitions. Sometimes, the day after a debate meet, I will snooze during the middle of one of her lectures. She doesn't really mind me doing it as I normally appologize (in a class of 20, its not hard to notice someone asleep) and tell her its from debate or working late on debate (which is true. She's a debate coach as well).

I never fall asleep in computer science. I could fall asleep in World Geography if it weren't so noisy in there. I never fall asleep in English. Could fall asleep in Geometry but the coach does mean things to those asleep. Can't sleep in band. I do, however, sleep in the 30 minute activity period we have in the afternoon if I didn't sleep in biology the period before and i am tired. Never sleep in Spanish, too busy with debate.

Can you tell Debate dominates my life?

[Keita]

Well, I never actually fell asleep, but I did daydream a lot...during statistics at Uni and math in highschool. Also during physics at uni..the first semester stuff was all about motion laws...that sort of thing makes my mind wander rather quickly! :D Was awake for particle physics in the second semester though! :bouncy:

[woollymouse]

Fall asleep in class never. Look bored in class loads of times usually in English and Spanish, hmm I didn't do so well in them maybe I should have paid attention more. We spent physics lessons trying to look interested the teacher didn't have control so we took advantage. I did pass the exams in physics so I learnt something.

You need to pay attention with particle physics. I studies a bit of particle physics in my foundation science with the OU it went right over my head (I had difficulty there preventing my mind from a wandering, however, we weren't tested on that in the exam.)

[Master Harper Andrea]

It's really hard to fall asleep in class when you're the teacher!!!! :D

[Jay_Quessir]

Actually had a teacher who did...:-)

She is my favorite teacher but she did fall asleep in class...Don't blame her, poor woman.

[ChrisG]

I almost nodded off in Air Force Tech school, but got a much appreciated kick from a fellow student. The AF instructors are very unforgiving. Still, there was one time when I stayed after class for some extra help and the instructor nodded off... I tactfully pretended not to notice. :noface:

[Magician Girl]

For me, it depends on the class. I would say Nutrition. I don't sleep completely, but I am really drowsy in this particular class. I usually have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning for swimming workout in the morning. Ironically, I am able to take very good notes, even though I am half asleep. I still get six hours of sleep, but waking up at 5:30 almost every day takes a lot out of a person. I usually make up for it on weekend mornings.

[B`dgyr]

From the time I was thirteen to my seventeenth year, my baby sis was four or five, and had decided all the way back then that she was destined to be an insomniac. I was usuallythe one who stayed up with her. Four in the morning was my usual bedtime. Two was a joy. I would regularly fall asleep in biology and physical science but I would get A's in the class...I told the teacher it was osmosis as I usually used my book for a pillow.

[AidansMom]

Scary to say but I fall asleep in Math -- which is what I'm planning to teach. However, it's a function of my diabetes and the time of the class, not the subject or teacher. Right now my diabetes is out of control and my sugars go high enough about 1 hour after eating (during Math class) that I pass out for a short period of time until the sugars come back down. I cannot prevent it and even as I am falling asleep, I'm trying to take notes as I'm still processing information I hear...

In high school, I routinely slept through English, especially my senior year when it was from 8:00 - 8:50 every morning so that Holly could then leave to go dance with the Houston Ballet. I hated her for that...though she danced beautifully. Maybe that's why I squeaked through Senior English with a 59.6 average for the year (my D -- but just barely). What's even scarier is with that low of an average in English I made a 4 (out of 5) on the English AP exam, had a 690 on the SAT Verbal, and made a 720 on the English Achievement exam -- so I passed out of all my freshman English in college. :p

[Entle`]

in oz it would be maths but when i went to one school i dident have the book to do one of the homwork things we had so my teacher would let me go to sleep in it :D

[Berd]

In high school I could never fall asleep b/c:
Falling asleep in a class of less then 20 students, you get noticed.
One teacher would dump water over your head + detention
My dad taught some of my classes
My dad was also the principal! :devil: I'd have been so dead!


At college I have a really, really boring chemistry class. Some Fridays I skip it so I can go home earlier. Never fallen asleep in a class before, though. My friend next to me started snoring once and we were in the second row! :D I woke her up before professor noticed. He makes funny comments about the people snoring in class. Once he let us out ten minutes early. He said since two people were snoring that lecture was getting too boring so we weren't learning anything anyways. That was cool. ;)

[Blue Moon]

Chemistry, on nearly a daily basis :) Its a miricale that I am even passing this class.

[Monkeysrule]

Art, when I'm done with the project before the rest or when we're doing so-called 'art appreciation'. Otherwise, I like art.

And PE, before we start actually exercising (sp?) because I have it 1st period, right after I drag myself out of bed. Bleah.

[skysong]

In high school I fell asleep in Bio and Chem b/c they were both after lunch (diferent years) plus the teacher had the most monotone voice ever (think Ben Stein but worse). Now that I have entered the hollow halls of college I have only lightly dozed off twice in Philosophy in Literature.

[T'ley]

FRENCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Though I don't do it any more thank the fates.

[cewp]

Well, fortunately I'm no longer in any classes but the occurrences still occur in meetings. Any class where the lights got turned off for a movie, or overhead...I fell asleep. :D
