Heh, well...if you show up you don't get docked. At my school, if you're absent a certain number of times you drop a letter grade and then some. So, if you go to class, letter grade is still intact despite being asleep, and most of my professors are understand. They were the ones who decided that assigning 100 pages of boring text, plus three ten pages papers and two paintings and one photo portfolio would be a good thing to assign over the weekend.

I'm not one to snore or really sleep in class although my head gets heavy, and my eyes go wonky and stuff. But if you want me to get a good nights sleep...bring it up with my profs.

I like to listen to my professor with my eyes closed and head down sometimes. It helps me picture things in my mind easier.

My friend sleeps during our Theatre History class and it annoys the holy hell out of me.  He says that its because he works till 1 am and doesn't get much sleep...and has his first class at 8 am.  I don't see why his job can't work around his schedule, or why he just doesn't drop a class...because he has more than enough credit hours...he's wasting his money on that class because he might fail because he doesn't know whats going on.

What do they make hoodies for if nothing more than a head cover while you sleep in class? *lol*  At least that would help block out any sounds...

My reasons for sleeping in class:

- held three jobs :(
- partied the night before...
- content was boring and the professor was monotone

I work nights to pay for school because no one else pays for me to go.  i have to do physical therapy 5 days a week for my back because of a car accident in december. i am taking 17 credit hours and i am writing an article.  IF I WANT TO SLEEP IN CLASS THAT IS MY CHOICE.  lay the fuck off. seriously, get a hobby.
