I've got a big problem. I keep falling asleep during my first hour class and it's not because of how much sleep I'm getting. I get plenty of sleep, so my next thought is that it's either brought on by a medication I'm taking (my psychiatrist did say that Lithium can cause the drowsiness) or it's my actual mental illness itself. Either way, I'm falling asleep and I can't help myself! It's really making me fall behind in this class and it's embarrassing to me to have a teacher constantly asking if I'm alright.

Has this happened to anyone else? And does anyone know how to deal with this? I really need some help.

Thank you!
