Why Do Students Fall Asleep in Class?

Many students fall asleep in class because they do not sleep enough at night. Some students stay up late watching TV, playing games, or using their phones. When they wake up early for school, they feel tired.

Another reason is that some lessons are very quiet and long. If students do not move or talk, they start to feel sleepy. Teachers try to make lessons more interesting so that students stay awake.

To avoid falling asleep in class, students should sleep for 7–9 hours every night. Drinking water, sitting up straight, and taking short breaks can also help.

Questions:

  1. Why do students fall asleep in class?

  2. What are two reasons for falling asleep?

  3. How many hours should students sleep at night?

  4. What can help students stay awake?

Answers:

  1. They do not sleep enough at night.

  2. They stay up late or lessons are too quiet.
