So don't fall asleep!"]] {{quote\|The only thing worse than waking up and having to go to school is waking up and being in school.\|''[[Digimon Tamers]]''}} Line 10: In more serious stories this might be an indicator that the student is having trouble at home, whether due to abuse, being forced to take a job to help support the family, or some other reason. While it is less likely to be [[Played for Laughs]] in these kinds of stories, it can sometimes be used for [[Comic Relief]]. A common consequence of being a teenage [[Triple Shifter]]. Characters who ''repeatedly'' fall [['''Asleep in Class]]''' (and other places) are [[Sleepyhead\|Sleepy Heads]]. Not to be confused with [[Sleep Learning]], which is the practice of trying to absorb knowledge while asleep or hypnotized. Naturally, teenagers can often feel the need for sleep enough to doze off in a class that may seem boring and meaningless, so this trope is [[Truth in Television]]. {{examples}} == Anime & Manga == * ''[[Ayane's High Kick\|Ayanes High Kick]]'': Ayane Mitsui is caught snoring and drooling on her books when her teacher calls on her to answer a question after she exhausted herself in kick-boxing training the night before. The next scene reveals that it earned her the standard [[Anime]] "[[Standing in the Hall\|Hallway Water Bucket]]" punishment. * In the second novel of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Sousuke falls asleep with his eyes open after having spent the night dealing with a [[Humongous Mecha]] rampaging through Tokyo. * Happens a lot in ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]''. At one point Kagura attempts to wake Kaorin up by poking her with a pencil, only to stab her in the back of the head when she wakes up with a start. ** Osaka is infamous for this. She even falls asleep in the opening! Yukari is not happy about it.
