Narcolepsy

*As I am walking around one of my classes one of my students stops what he is doing and puts his head down every time I walk by.*

Me: "You ok?  Every time I walk by you fall asleep.  You could have narcolepsy."

The Limit as Sleep Approaches Distraction

Normally I don't wake people when they fall asleep during a test or a quiz; students should be responsible enough to do that on their own.  Once someone starts snoring all bets are off.

Drool

I have a higher rate of attendance today than most mondays, but I also have a higher rate of sleeping (and subsequently drool on assignments) than usual.

Creative Solution

Sometimes people don't want to wake up.

Big Brother is Watching

When students decide to sleep in class I like to take pictures of them.

The next day this student decided to do the same thing.

Sleeper

My first year teaching we had one kid who did nothing but sleep all day.  At first I thought it was just my class, but apparently he slept in every class.  It was so bad that this kid had a permanent case of bed-head.  One day when we were doing state testing the regular bell system was turned off, and several of the teachers decided to conduct an experiment. We decided to not wake him up to change classes to see how long he would sleep.  He slept exactly to the moment lunch started, he went down and ate lunch, came back, and fell asleep to the end of the day.
