I am so SLEEPY, so...

...I need to have a quick nap this afternoon. I need to boost myself with energy since students online are in the queue for this evening. It will be long hours and I need to sustain lively classes. If not, they are going to turn into aliens or mutants.

It seems that I am having so many rude students lately.

Do you like taking a nap during your siesta time? Image Credit: breathmath.files.wordpress.com

Are your students are all from other countries? I'm glad that you have the patience to handle them.

My students are all from China. At first, I do not have patience. Eventually, I just ignore their bad behaviors and carry out my job.

@Shavkat Why they behave like that? Do you think their parents did not teach this children proper behavior especially towards their teachers?

@ZedSmart You can say that. They are not taught good manners. Another thing, it is culture thing, especially the spitting part.

Usually, I sleep every afternoon during the daytime since no teaching schedule at this period. For weekends, I have to teach three shifts: morning, afternoon, and evening.

@Shivram59 I am freer in the daytime during the weekdays. Weekends are the busiest days because the students are available.

@Shavkat Luckily you were not in class when the lesson started, I was reprimanded and told to stand outside the classroom with a bucket of water.

@May2k8 I am not sure why I wasn't reprimanded. At that time, I was one of the bright students.

I am saying it humbly

I used to do that during my university days. I always make myself late in entering the class so that I can go to the back and sleep.

I am working as a virtual teacher for more than seven years now.

I sometimes feel so bad dealing with these misbehaving students. You can also include random changes in the rules of my company.

@cherigucchi It will be rewarding if these students appreciated our efforts.

@Shavkat That seems to be awful but being a teacher is also rewarding at times.

I never take naps, I never did during all my life.

In my previous jobs, I never do this, too. Since I am working at home and the working schedule is not the usual office hours, I need to balance the sleep-wake cycle.

@Shavkat We always had our own office and worked for ourselves, I can only remember very long working hours and skipped meals.

@LadyDuck When I was still working with a local government agency, I always skipped meals. I did not expect that there are so many paper works that need to be done. But I can have some cookies while doing them.

I will definitely be taking a nap later. I had a late night and I got up too early to my liking. I am just taking advantage of the boost from this morning's coffee before I start to run low on energy.

I woke up early today. I still lack sleep. because I slept last night.

A cup of coffee makes me alive and ready to have classes online for the morning shift.

At around 3 PM, I will jump onto my bed again.

Some days you need sleep more than other days, so if you can do it and need it go ahead.

I also think that it is also effective when feeling blue on something.

I usually work for 5 hours. I need to sleep after 3 PM because I have to work from 7 PM to midnight.

Weekends are quite the busy days for me.
