If you’re getting enough sleep and food and still falling asleep in class you might want to see a doctor

maybe it’s a screens too close to bedtime thing? sometimes certain medications can make you sleepy too so idk

Is it all day or only certain classes like only morning classes or the afternoon/night ones? Maybe in general you’re not eating healthy enough? You say a good breakfast but is it healthy and what about the rest of your meals? Also, idk if you’re in a currently warm or cold area but something that makes me sleepy like crazy even if I’m the most perfectly slept person is AC. I automatically started falling asleep when my classes had AC on no matter what day or time of day and my own health.

Maybe but I usually sleep decently? How long should would you recommend being off screens before bed?

lowkey like an hour, or what i usually do is set up my screen to be warmer in the evening and that seems to work for me!

Well, this semester I’ve been sleepy a lot in my 10 AM class and sometimes at my 1 PM class. I don’t know how healthy my breakfast is, but I usually have a fruit like cantaloupe. And it’s currently kind of winter here so I don’t think they’d have the AC on?

I second seeing a doctor. Regular Fatigue in spite of enough sleep can be a medical issue.

10am classes are brutal and i too feel sleepy around 1-2pm. i try to avoid 10am classes and i take a nap if i can around 1-2pm for thirty minutes to an hour. don’t know how helpful or healthy that makes me but it works.
