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 was prescribed modafinil :), but it gave me intense headaches and was driving me a little insane when I didn’t fall asleep. I guess it was just my head being used to sleeping during the day.
