Have you ever slept or felt sleepy during lecture?

Hahaha. I think sleepiness in a class can't be avoided at all times. I admit that from time to time I get sleepy in my class. I think it's because of our boring instructors that doesn't even know how to make a joke. Plus they have this mellow voices. They're like a music box. Lol. But I never get into the point that I fell to sleep in my class. Geez, that's so embarrassing.

Yes, many times. lol. I do feel sleepy when the speaker is boring or has a soft voice. The environment also affects me so much. When it's cold, I usually get asleep too. I'm active during discussions but wrong strategies in teaching really makes me feel sleepy all the time

Yes, I felt very sleepy every time we go to the hospital to listen to doctors talk. It makes me so darn tired . . .
When in the hospital, we get put into a room where they shut off all the lights and then use the projector-thingamajigs to get a picture of an x-ray on the board. And since it is so dark and they just keep talking I find myself nodding off and shutting my eyes.
I try to find something to rest my head on, but I can't so I have to put my face in my hands but that isn't comfortable

Anyways, while I listen to this guy talking about X-rays or CAT Scans I almost fall asleep.

Sleeping or feeling sleepy in class is quite unavoidable especially after lunch. My class after lunch is Physics and well i don't really get along with it. There are many times that im covering my eyes with my forehand and im acting as if i'm reading my book but actually im already snoozing. Great tactic, right? There are also times that i really want to listen but my body doesn't want to. I'm looking at the board and trying to absorb the lesson but my eyes are not very cooperative. They keep on going down. I'm not even the boss of my own body. haha

blame it on the boring subjects and boring teachers. More often it's the boring teachers who just don't know how to catch the attention of the students. I had teachers who let us do some exercises if students already starts to show signs of boredom. I hate my history subject but there's one teacher that keeps me looking forward to his discussion because he make sure to inject humor to keep us all awake during the entire subject. I also had another teacher in one of history subject (also) who just don't know how to engage his students that you'd want to put sticks between your eyelids just to stay awake LOL. Cheers!

I believe most people to felt sleepy during lecture especially if the lecturer is boring or the topic is boring. Sometimes you blame yourself if you are short/lack of sleep before your lecture.:)

Hao!

Yes! i really felt sleepy attending trainings if the facilitator and the topic is boring. That is why i drink a lot of coffee whenever im sleepy. If i am still sleepy, i goes out of the session room and walk for few minutes outside then goes back.

Yes I have experienced it. I think it happens to every one. It is natural for human beings to get sleep during lecture or watching something sometimes.

first week of classes this semester i fell asleep in just about every class. didnt have anything to do with the lectures (although they are incredible boring. torque at 7 am anyone?), i was just really tired from having such early classes and going to bed in the AM. but the next week i started drinking coffee, and i can now say i only sleep through like one class a day, or so:)

yes!i experience that also during school year,and during our seminars and lectures.Because some of the teachers the subject they are teaching is not interested, or the one who is giving lectures sometimes the topic is sleepy thats why they cannot get the attention of audience,What i will so that i will not be sleepy i always bring chewing gum or candies.
I remember during colleges im too much sleepy, and suddenly my teacher called me asked me the question that time really i do not know the answer, and im not listening to her.Its very shameful.
