Many students don't get enough sleep at night. As a result, there are students who fall asleep during class. Such behavior can definitely get you in trouble. If you love to sleep, here are some ways to sleep in class and get away with it.
Steps
Step 1. Look for a spot where you may not be seen by either the teacher or the other students
Make sure there is a friend of yours ready to wake up next to you.
Method 1 of 9: The "I dropped something" method
Step 1. Place a pencil on the ground next to your desk
It is better to drop it "accidentally".
Step 2. Put your left arm horizontally on the edge of the bench
Rest your forehead on your arm. Let your right arm hang down as if to pick up the pencil. However, the professor might notice that something is wrong, since it doesn't take half an hour to pick up a pencil!
Method 2 of 9: The Book Method
Step 1. Position your left arm as indicated by the previous method
Step 2. Open a book and hold it on your lap
Rest your head on your arm. Place your right hand on the pages of the book.
Method 3 of 9: The Book Method # 2
Step 1. Place a hardcover book on your desk, and open it halfway (so it doesn't tend to close by itself)
Place your elbows on the desk around the book with your forearms raised.
Step 2. Using your hands, shield your eyes as if your hands were a visor or the visor of a cap
Method 4 of 9: The Book Method # 3
Step 1. Simply put a book on the desk, and rest your forehead on it
As you do this, it is important to keep your arms relaxed in your lap. It is one of the most comfortable positions. On the other hand, it will be quite obvious that you are trying to sleep. The biggest advantage of this method is that it won't cause your arms or any other part of your body to "fall asleep" (pun intended), allowing you to sleep longer without being awakened by tingling.
Method 5 of 9: The Bank Method
Step 1. Keep your arm and head in the usual position
Put your other arm under the counter so it looks like you're trying to grab something.
Method 6 of 9: The "I'm Taking Notes" Method
Step 1. Place a piece of paper or a pad, preferably with writing, on the counter
Step 2. Put your left elbow on the bench and rest one corner of your forehead on the base of your left wrist
Turn your head down so that you are looking towards the edge of the counter.
Step 3. Hold a pen in your right hand, and put your right arm next to the paper, as if you were writing something
In addition, you can rotate your chair so that you are facing away from the teacher as little as possible. Eventually switch the role of the arms so that the arm you are leaning on shields you from the professor.
Method 7 of 9: The "I'm Reading Under the Counter" Method
Step 1. Put an open book on your legs, cross your arms on the desk and keep your head down as if you were reading the book you have under the desk
Answer a few questions asked by the professor while in this position before falling asleep, so that he is led to think that you are awake and paying attention.
Step 2. Take a book and stand it on the desk so that it shields you from the professor's view
Step 3. Try to cover your eyes as if you were reading something
To do this, gather your hands around your eyes.
Method 8 of 9: The Foolproof Long Hair Method
Step 1. If your teacher is standing still at the desk, and if you have very long hair, use it to cover your face a few minutes before you start to sleep
At that point, cross your arms on the desk and rest your chin on them so that your face is facing the desk itself. A variation of this method, if you have a backpack with you, is to hold the backpack on your lap and wrap your arms around it as if you were hugging it. Rest your head on top of the backpack instead of on the bench; doing so will give you a more upright posture, and you will be less suspicious. Good night!
Method 9 of 9: The Computer Method
This method only works with a computer.
Step 1. Open a web page related to what you should be doing, place one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard and start falling asleep sweetly
Advice
- If you have a check, finish it before bed. You'll be less likely to get caught, and some professors may not care.
- Try sleeping during a movie or after you've finished what to do; the class will be dark and the teacher will not ask questions. Some professors will leave you free to sleep if it is one of the first hours and you have nothing to do. Make sure you don't have to take notes during the movie.
- Choose the right hours to sleep. History or math (depending on the professors) can be risky hours to sleep in, given the constant flow of important concepts. In addition, teachers of certain subjects tend to involve students more (by asking questions, etc.). Try sleeping during subject hours that are easiest for you or that include presentations or other forms of teaching that only require passive participation.
- Keep an eye on your grades. They will tell you if you are overdoing sleeping in class.
- Don't use iPod headphones - they can help you sleep, but you won't be able to hear what's going on around you.
- Sleeping is easier during drawing hours or similar subjects, where there are no things to listen to in order to get good grades in the tests. It is also convenient to have the desk near a window or behind the desk. Just keep your elbows on the desk and your head on one hand, while with the other you will have to hold a pencil to keep next to the paper that you will have in front of you. If you get caught and haven't drawn anything yet, you can always say that you were looking for "inspiration" or that you don't know what to draw.
- Try not to lie on the counter, you would be caught right away.
- If you use one of the methods seen in this guide, you will not need to fall asleep completely, just relax and get distracted for a moment. This way you will feel a little more rested, while still being aware of everything that happens in the classroom.
- Try to appear busy doing something or listening.
- If the teacher has given you time to read silently on your own, take out the book and pretend to read while you rest.
- When you are going to sleep, or otherwise not paying attention for some time, raise your hand to answer any question the professor asks for a few minutes, so that later on he feels less obliged to call you to attention too. if you look a little less… active.
- Don't fall into a deep sleep phase; try to stay in a phase where you can still understand what is happening around you.
- Even though it is quite difficult, try to train yourself to listen even while you sleep, so that if the teacher says, "(your name) are you sleeping?", In addition to being able to answer no, you will also be able to answer: "Then what's the last thing I said?"
- Even if you are tired, try to stay alert. Don't even think you can "rest your eyes".
- If a professor loves his subject and starts a long speech, he will probably be too distracted to notice you, especially if his is a subject in which you have good grades.
- If by any chance you have an important test that day but you have not been able to get enough sleep during the night, you may want to sleep during the hours before the test, but know that you will lose all explanations.
- Teachers often tend to summarize what they've been explaining in the last few minutes, so try to get someone to wake you up 5-10 minutes before class ends. This way you will be able not to get lost too much.
- If you get caught, be prepared to face the consequences.
- Try sleeping with narrowed eyes. From a distance, it will appear as if you are looking down.
- Wear a hooded sweatshirt.
- Ask a friend for notes on everything the professor explained while you slept.
- Wear sunglasses that look like eyeglasses.
- The sixth method may not work because the arm is not moving.
- It is easier not to be caught in the act if you are in the back of the classroom. Tell the professors that you prefer to stay in the background or that you see better from afar than up close. Walls are great for relaxing by simply leaning back, plus the teacher, seeing that you are standing, will not think you are sleeping!
- You can ask the person sitting in front of you to stand up straight so that you hide from the professor's view.
Warnings
- Try not to sit next to someone you dislike. He could be a spy to get you in trouble.
- Watch out for professors asking questions or calling on the board; if they found you, you would risk serious consequences.
- Be aware that students who think education is the most important may see you as a bummer, and it's a brand that struggles to walk away.
- Be careful of the people around you. If they are getting too much attention or are used to it, try hard to look awake, or try harder to stay awake for real.
- If you snore, talk in your sleep, or are sleepwalking, avoid falling asleep in class.
- It might seem obvious, but don't fall asleep before they roll roll call or collect homework! You would definitely get caught.
- If the teacher is very strict, don't do it!
- Make sure that the teacher does not assign an assignment to be done and delivered at the end of the lesson.
- If you usually sleep during class, you will notice when you fail to pass the tests.
- If you rest your head on your arm, be careful not to keep your mouth slightly open. You could smear your desk, notes, books and get caught.
- If the person in front of you is sleeping, it is vital that you don't sleep too.
- Be careful to leave your face in sight and your chin not resting on anything. The chin would drop, making it obvious that you were sleeping.
- Do not sleep if the teacher is making you take turns reading. He would immediately notice it as soon as it was your turn.
- Don't do this too often, or the professors might get suspicious.
- Keep in mind that some of these techniques may not work with all professors in the world.
- If you are in the front row, or near the first row, sleeping is very risky.
- Be sure to clean the counter if you accidentally smear it while sleeping.
- Drooling the dealer is one of the worst ways to get caught, also because you would soon be around for a long time.
- The professors gossip to each other, so be careful. Even a professor who has just arrived at your school may know that you are one who often sleeps in the classroom.
- Make sure you don't make sleeping in class a habit.
- Sleeping will cause you to miss important explanations.
- If you get caught, you could be suspended, expelled and punished by your parents.
