How to Sleep in Class Without Getting Caught

Although every class is different, there are some principles which will apply in a general sense to every classroom situation. Some people occasionally fall asleep, but others have a naptime planned as regularly as a kindergarten class. So whether you're interested in catching up on a late night's study or making a routine of it, here are a few tips for getting that extra rest without causing undue attention to yourself.

1. Sit in towards the back of the room. If the size of your classroom is relatively small, you will probably have a slightly trickier time getting by, but it is still usually possible if attempted correctly. Even in the largest classrooms, the front row students can be caught dozing. This is not the place to sit if you want to tune out the lecture.

2. Have something on your desk. If your desk is empty and you are hunched over leaning on your hands, the teacher might grow suspicious. It's usually a good idea to have a book open. It doesn't even have to be the right book, as long as it's about the right size and open to pages full of smaller text nobody should have any reason to wonder.
