<font color="purple">I sleep well at night, but every day in school, even if I like the teacher, and even if I find the material interesting, and even if I am hyper about 5 seconds before, there are times when suddenly I just hit the wall and HAVE to fall asleep.

Trust me, I really do have to sleep, it's not a matter of being a little drowsy, but a very difficult battle just to keep my eyes open. (I think a few timesI was still sitting straight up I started falling asleep, thank god my reflexes kept kicking in to stop me from falling out of my chair.) And every time I open my eyes (I usualy open them the moment they close) they go all loopy on me....literaly. It's crazy. This usualy happens either 6th period (around 11:30 to noon ish) and recently it happened 9th period (around 2:00-2:30) It's getting to the point now were I just give in and fall asleep, because it's a pretty light sleep and I can still hear/understand what the teachers are saying...unlike when I try to stay awake...which makes it difficult to even function properly, let alone understand what the teacher is saying.

Like well...pretty mch everything that I have that's wrong with me, it really isn't on a consistant basis, so I am doubting that it's really something like narcolepsy, but you never know about these things.</font>

Do you get the 8-9 hours *of sleep* needed every night? If not, that might be why you get sleepy during the day.

Do you eat a good breakfast? If your sugar is crashing or something, could be physical/neurological, etc. You need to tell a doctor and get some blood tests, etc.
