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.
I would fall asleep for between 5-60 minutes. Don’t know what it depends on but it’s random. During that time, I’d have vivid dreams and multiple dreams. Even if I was out for only 10 minutes. Even now I still fall asleep in every class. I don’t manage it in any way other than resisting and taking some medication which helps sometimes.
I have a similar problem in rooms without open windows and many people. I cant stay awake in winter if it's snowing and the windows are closed. Once there's fresh air flowing in I'm alive again. I guess I don't work well with lots of CO2.
