An MBA degree screws up one's body clock bigtime. You just can't sleep nights. Even if you have nothing to do, you will end up reading about the trash cans in Moldova, the latest underwear line by Versace or download stuff you'll never end up watching. Hence, the invention of numerous ways of sleeping in class.
- The blatant "I-don't-give-a-rat's-ass" sleeper: This one will sleep with the notebook as his pillow...mouth open....eventually waking up in his own pool of saliva.
- The Poser: This one still has an iota of shame left. He sleeps with his head tilted as if looking at his right foot and holds a pen in his hand...gradually drifting off to slumberland. Pretty ingenious, must say.
- The statuette: This one looks heavenwards, the face resting on the elbow support-everything locked in position-simply flawless. This one competes closely with the blatant sleeper in the "screw the world, I need my sleep" attitude but does provide an effective shut eye, the side effect being a backache.
- The Disguise sleeper: This involves caps and really thick glasses. A slight tilt of the head and poof..no one notices that you're zonked. You almost never get caught at all.
- The "One": My idol...only gifted ones can pull it off. I really envy these chaps. This one involes sleeping with the eyes open - SIMPLY LEGENDARY. To me, these guys are like superheroes.
Unless the body gives up and you end up falling on your neighbour, these are tried and tested methods of catching up on your prized slumber in class.
