When I was younger I have fallen asleep in class. I was bord out of my mind and the subject did not seem intresting and I ended falling asleep. I did get caught falling asleep and I got talked to by the teacher. That was no fun. I think if something is boring enough that you are more likely to fall asleep. Sometimes you just can't help it. Especially if you are really tired.

I fell asleep in class a couple of times in class too. It was in study hall though. I got all of my work done and took me a nap in there. I hope I didn't snore LOL.

I have never fallen a sleep while the teacher was actually talking although I have had droopy eyes. I have fallen asleep during movies when the lights were out. It is really hard to stay awak during a boring movie in a dark room when you are tired The darkness just begs you to go to sleep. But I always try really hard not to fall asleep when someone is talking because people take that personally.

I use to always fall slepp in my French class. It was right after lunch and my teacher had such a soft voice, she just put me right to sleep. She was so nice she would not wake me up, but then I did not learn much French, either!

I used to fall asleep in class often when I was in high school. I couldn't understand the subject, so it made me sleepy. I just couldn't help to sleep and before I knew it, my head was already on the table lol. I assume the teacher knew I was sleeping, but he didn't say anything and continued to teach instead. Oh, I feel so guilty!

the question should be who hasnt fallen asleep in class. now for a funny story we had a football coach for a geography teacher so he was quite into things when he taught. We had one kid that would always fall asleep in class. Well he was also in football as well. one day he was passed out front row. the teacher grabbed the chalkboard eraser and lets it fly at the kids head. poof direct hit and a nice yellow retangle imprint on his heat to boot. i never laughed so hard in my life.

I was such a straight arrow when I was in school. I never dared to fall asleep in class. I was even so afraid to miss school. I wonder what happened in between me going to school and me going to work... Now I can't help but fall asleep at work... I'm an energy drink zombie!

hahaha! yes! i do! not just when i was in my elementary days but also in my college life like now. The reason? because i lack of sleep. Not just sleeping, sometimes i come to class late or end up being absent. Also, when there are boring classes, and boring topics, Me and my other classmates usually sleeps and not listen. And lucky me, i have not been caught by the teacher yet :D ehehe good day tuckersheri! happy mylotting! :D

Hey! No I've never fallen asleep in class. Trust me there were days where I really wanted to fall asleep but I was to afraid of getting caught and getting in trouble. I really hate getting in trouble. I know someone who once fell asleep in class and the teacher took his glasses off of his face so that when he woke up he couldn't see... After hearing that story I was always afraid of what would happen to me if I fell asleep in class, so I just never gave in to my urge.
