Last week I wrote a blog post about how to stay awake in
class. This week I will be writing about sleeping in class and how to get away
with it. Before we begin let me just say that I am neither condoning nor
encouraging you to take a little cat nap in the middle of math class. It is way
better to stay awake and try to pay attention to the lecture the teacher is
trying to give you. But it has recently been a fad to see all the creative ways
students have found to sleep in class while looking like they are wide awake. Some
methods are going to be more effective than others and it all depends on the
situation. Let’s take a look:
This is one option, just pretend like you are praying. It is
completely natural for people to worship in the middle of class, so why not
take a little snooze. No one will even know, guaranteed to be a success. I mean
are they really going to question your spirituality? I don’t think so! If the
teacher does, however, question you, you can always get offended because all
you were doing was just practicing your religion.
Then there is the classic draw or in this case tape a
picture of open eyes on your eyelids. This way when your eyes are closed and
you are fast asleep, you will still appear awake to your teacher. This is a
flawless plan, except for the risk of looking slightly creepy. But it might be
worth it to get that hour of sleep. I
mean it’s not like the teacher will call on you or require you to participate
at all. So if you have enough artistic ability to pull this one off. I say go
for it. But if you are like me and don’t, then I could see this plan not panning
out for ya. I mean teachers might notice if your eyes just turned into a circle
with a dot in the middle of it.
Then for those brave enough you could always just lay your
head down and use your desk like a pillow. But be warned, teachers have a
higher percentage of catching you and calling on you when using this method.
But sometimes you lack the motivation and creativity to do any other method. This
should be a last resort option because it comes with the most risk. I have
found that this works better in larger class rooms where the teacher is
probably more distracted by others to pay attention to you looking like the
people in the pictures above.
