I miss sleeping in class. I used to all last year. This year, I have 3 computer classes, so I just distract myself by surfing the web. And my other two classes...music is sometimes interesting, although the music we were listening to the other day did put me to sleep...and theology, I wish I could fall asleep in, but I drink a coffee before it. That didn't work for my literature class last semester, but it works for theology.Quote:

Seriously, here's a tip that may work for you, too...
I often come over sleepy whilst at the computer (I read, somewhere, that 40% of our energy is expended in "seeing" stuff), I give in to the urge, grudgingly, - like most gamers, I suppose, there's never enough time for my addiction - but I lose the minimum of time, by just relaxing at my post, closing my eyes, and following a rational train of thought, until, suddenly, an absolutely incongruous idea or image pops into my head, out of left field.
This means that I've started dreaming, which means that I've been sleeping, which means that my batteries are recharged for a while...most of my cat-naps last no more than 15 minutes, I'd say that 5 is the norm' As soon as my thoughts go haywire, I know that I can return to work, refreshed
True, if I've had a particularly sleepless night, I have to take several of such naps during the day, and if I've eaten, beforehand, the naps can last up to an hour, but all in all, the "Halt until you hallucinate" method of napping is a great time-saver for us sleepyheads.
I love that term! Good one... I'm going to "borrow" it and credit the all-wise Rongar for coming up with it.Quote:

Seriously, Bingle, I hope that this method works for you, and others.
