I can sleep anywhere, anytime.
Obviously not 3.27am of a Sunday morning.

I *think* I fell asleep in a geography lecture last yr, but I mean, really, we were watching a video on dams.

i fall asleep in my engineering computations every week. the seats are so good to slouch back in and rest your head.

last week after i woke up from napping in class, i turned around and pretty much everyone else in the class was asleep too. the lecturer always says 'before any more of you sleep, i'll quickly rush through this'

really sux when they turn down the lights and put on videos too cause about a minute into the video and i'm asleep.

I haven't fallen asleep in a lecture. I sleep for 2 hours on the train instead.

But ppl are often laying on the fall at the back of classrooms. lol, the other day in a lecture, this guy was sleeping on the floor, and the lecturer walked up to the back of the room and threw a piece of scrunched up paper at him and woke him up, and then she forced him to answer a question. it was funny :p

I would always nod off for a second or two each morning between 10 and 11 (if in a class). As I either sat on my own (senior science student taking his first year arts units) and/or up the front (short-sighted), the lecturers always seemed to notice, too :(.

I blame the lecture theatres as they are quite warm and comfortable making it a great place to sleep

I had a big jacket once in the middle of winter... stole a friend's big jacket and made quite a comfy little bed on the floor up the back of the lecture...

and i still managed a distinction in that course!

Are you serious? As if phil doesn't rock- have you got a bad lecturer or something?
