I am a student and its my routine to visit a library every time i have an assignment or research.But, when i go to the library when noontime, i felt sleepy and i used to sleep there. I'll cover my head with big books so that it is not obvious that i am sleeping. I am asking those students or those who has experience of being a student if do you sleep in library..

Haha. Sleeping in the library should be another interest at myLot. I often ask my teacher if I can work in the library instead of in my classroom. She often say yes. I'm using a book to cover my head too. It's so much better then sleeping in class and risking getting detention or something like that :).

Ya sometime I also experience this kind of problem.Look our mind does not be the same all time.Sometime our mind want something else like some other activity.Regularity is possible only in that activity which we are passionate about it but if we re just trying to do that activity or work then we will often going to face this kind of problem.This is human nature.Your problem could also relate with fatigue factor.It is happening may be that you are doing something else also before going to library.You must analyze it that what it is.There are several reasons for that.

I think if you cover your head with big books you're making more obvious that you're sleeping In my case I can't sleep in the library, as it's really unconfortable. Even if I feel very sleepy I can't just sleep while sitting on the chair, and the table is cold and hard, so even if I try to use my arms to make it more confortable my bones kind of stick in my face and it's even more unconfortable. I prefer going to the library just to study or read

I don't think I've ever slept in a library but I've come damn close several times. It must be because I don't attend the library that often. I do work in the library sometimes at the front desk and I've been very tempted to sleep during my shift especially when nobody is coming around because it's the early morning or late night shift. I prefer to fall asleep in my bed and have fallen asleep on my textbooks there.

When I was a student, I rarely visited the library. But when I do, I go there to enjoy the environment, what with the airconditioning and the silence. I know we aren't supposed to go to sleep in the library but sometimes, I just can't help it. There was one time I was so sleepy after duty that I put my bag on the table and pretended to be reading a book. I was slowly falling into sleep but then my classmate nudged me because a librarian was walking by. But hey, I slept again when she passed by.

I think library is a great place to sleep. Nobody will disturb you.

no, not really I always managed to stay awake, although I wouldn't be paying any attention to what's going on strangely, if it's boring situation I find it harder to stay awake but when it's time to sleep at night, I find it hard to sleep

Yes, I remember when I feel half asleep or drowsy when I am at the local library. But I always manage to snap myself out of it. Then I wouldn't have to disturb other people. Because I have heard from my friends that I snore when I am asleep. I do know some friends that have actually slept at the library. It's a good thing they are quiet sleepers or they would annoy other people there. lol.

I remember in summer , I often go to our library . Because there are air conditioners there. so you can relax yourself. Usually, I will take a book first and put it one the desk in the library in order to get a position to sit. andt then I will go to the book shelves to choose one book I really like and go back to my seat and have a look,sometimes the sunshine is so shinning and always kissing my face, I will fee very comfortable and have a strong feeling of wanting have a rest. So I will close my book and have a sleep rest for a while. but once when I wake up , only myself! it was really embarrassed. I think many students have the experience of sleeping in the library.

It happened to me to feel sleepy inside the library when I was a student and I had to read a dull book,but somehow I managed to avoid falling asleep.But now I am not so sure that I would manage to avoid this situation.

hi there chowee!!!As a student I never actually experience sleeping in the library.Aside from its prohibited I don't want others to laugh at me when they caught me sleeping.It will be very embarrassing.Although honestly I really feel sleepy whenever I enter our library I really tell myself not to ever fall asleep there.If ever someone will caught me sleeping in a library and if I got scolded for it I'm sure that others will laugh at me.I'm really avoiding this kind of situations coz its really awkward and I don't know what to do..

When I was in high school I knew perfectly well that the library was a place to study. but it was air conditioned and a perfect place, maybe not to sleep but just to take a nap, I took advantage of this, being in the chess club, I will pretend to borrow the chess board to study moves because I want to play on my own and do not want to be disturbed, they do not know that I will use the chess board as a pillow to take a nap

Hi chowee! I always feel sleepy when studying in the library. I do the exact same thing of covering my head with books so i don't really look like sleeping. I mean, it's kind of hard not to when there's air conditioning, quiet and a peaceful environment. I usually use my ipod to blast loud music so i can stay awake. So i end up lagging behind in completing my assignments and projects and i always get lectured by my teachers.

We all know that the library is a study area and not a sleeping area. But I'll admit that I also sleep in the library, well, most of the time that I'm there. I can't help it since it is very quiet and the atmosphere is really relaxing. Books also have a this special power that can make you sleep. LOL. My schedule this semester has a lot of vacant hours, 2 hours at most. If we don't have an assignment to rush, my friends and I would simply go to the library and sleep. XD
