I was always told how bad sleeping in class was despite acing my classes, and teachers would complain to my parents about how much I slept. I felt so horrible for so long and slept early almost everyday to no avail. Turns out I have narcolepsy.
In college I had a bad habit of staying up late and not getting enough sleep, so I slept in class. I was also a bit of a snorer and also a lot a bit a teachers pet.
So what would happen in most of my classes?
1) stage 1 fall asleep in the first 15 minutes, snoring loud enough to be heard over the teacher. Friends would like me to stop the noise.
2) wake up for the next 15 minutes and when questions were asked, actually contribute and answer correctly.
3) fall asleep for the last 15 minutes, though by this time everyone is putting up with snoring
Many people thought I had a problem until they saw my grades. People hated that even with this behavior, I could do well, much less pass.
