Question:
How can I keep from falling asleep in class?
I'm in the military and it amazes me how easily I fall asleep during classes. I never had trouble falling asleep in high school. But for some reason, I have to fight so hard to not fall asleep. I know it's not because I'm actually tired because if my sergeant sees me nodding off, I get embarrased and suddenly i'm fully alert. It's all in the mind I'm sure but how do you battle that! I yell at myself in my head to stay awake and I can't! Even when I stand up, sometimes I fight to not fall over!
Answers:
If this is something that didn't happen before you need to look at what has changed in your life.
Do you eat a good breakfast?
Do you get enough protein?
Are you on medication?
Do you get quality sleep?
Are you stressed or worried?
Is the bed uncomfortable?
Do you have to share a room?
You might be bored and wishing you were elsewhere.
Is there enough air (I mean, are you in a stuffy environment, with not enough oxygen).
If none of this helps - go get a medical check-up.
