I once fell asleep while sitting in on a class at a college that I was visiting

That is funny ... fitting right into the college experience! Sleeping in big lectures was OK as long as you sat in the back and didn't snore.</p>
<p>Oh man, last year in Euro I fell asleep almost every day. But only the 1-second asleep, 1-second awake kind of thing. The funny thing was we were always taking notes, and I would look down and see that I had kept writing notes while asleep--unintelligible gibberish.</p>
<p>hah thats funny</p>
<p>For teachers that yell at me in class when I go to sleep, I plan ahead with excuses or ways for them not to notice. So I just went to the eye doctor and got that cheap anti-reflectant thing you put over your glasses when you get your pupils dilated. </p>
<p>So Monday in class, teacher will go, "take off those sunglasses"
I go, "I just got my pupils dilated." </p>
<p>A good 2 hours of wholesome sleep, without getting caught.</p>
<p>Pinch the back of your knee, real hard, with your thumbnail. I swear it works--especially if you pinch all sudden-like, so you shock yourself. After three or so pinches it wears off, so you move to the inside of your elbow. There it's best not to pinch sudden and short--you've got to hold it (which is why I prefer the back of the knee.) However, if you have jeans on, the elbow could be a better place to start. If you are still falling asleep, try pinching the soft skin on the side of your arm, right before where your armpit starts. Start with a sudden pinch and hold it longer and longer as needed.</p>
<p>I used to fall asleep consistently in PreCalc--I would have my legs crossed, and the teacher would subtly knock my foot off my knee so it would fall, and I would wake up.</p>
<p>haha im so trying that Monday..as well as the other tips, except idk about the sunglasses one..idk if im brave enough lol</p>
<p>Dude that's pretty cool. If I was a teacher, I would do that. They would get to miss my lecture and the homework assignment, too. That's pretty fair. But I'm afraid of people failing. So nevermind.</p>
<p>i have a hard time sleeping in school, even if i received no sleep the night before.</p>
<p>Last year, I had a really hard time staying awake. This year, I've gotten way less sleep, but somehow I don't feel as sleepy. Besides, I find it very disrespectful to fall asleep in class.</p>
