Back at my home university, University of Wollongong, sleeping in lectures is a common practice and does not seem to be frowned upon by your fellow peers or professors. I was once the sleeper in my first year but I learnt that you should sleep in a bed, after all it is more comfortable. Well anyway, my friend sent me a picture of a guy dozing off in a database lecture and somebody actually took a mini video of his little sleeping spell. Fellow peers then proceeded to rate his sleep. See for yourself:

Position: 9.2 (There’s no table. it’s a book, therefore soft surface) Depth of sleep: 7.5 (His shoulders still look quite tight) Level of difficulty: 9.2 Total score: 9.2 Position: 7.6 (certainly uncomfortable, however he’s using soft book, and falling into the table instead of sleeping backwards). Depth of sleep: 8.2 (have to disagree with the others, the sports bag next to him implies that he is in deep sleep after an exhausting amount of exercise. Level of difficulty: 8 Total score: 7.93 repeater!
