Hello so this story happened a couple years ago but I thought it would be funny. So back in high school I was part of the football team and had a part time job while doing regular classes, all this to say I was busy. Anyway because I was so busy I was feeling exhausted all the time and it didn’t help that my football team made us come in at least three times a day to either lift weights run drills or watch film.
The problem is that the film room at that high school had very comfy chairs to watch the film in and they turn off the lights to see the film better. pairing this with how exhausted I was made it super difficult to stay awake when the coach was talking. one more thing I should add for context is that when I sleep I don’t snore but more like groan I think its like i’m trying to sleep and when there’s someone talking I want them to shut up so I groan trying to make them shut up.
Anyway I was in film one day trying my best to stay awake, when I nod off around halfway through. I then wake myself up by groaning super loud for about 5 seconds at least. I open my eyes to see everyone is staring at me eyes wide open with worry and them asking wtf was that. Ive never been more embarrassed but the good news is that the coaches didn’t even acknowledge it so I didn’t get punished for sleeping in film.
TL;DR Fell asleep during football film study, groaned like a dying ghost for several seconds, traumatized my teammates.

Oh my god you just made me remember when the coaches would have us run drills after school and then watch tapes afterwards. That AC was godly & the chairs were the only plush ones in school (I think it was deliberate) so someone would inevitably fall asleep. Once the coaches saw who it was we’d all have to go out and run laps. Brutal times!
That’s how you get things drawn on your face with a sharpie.
I remember one of my classmates falling asleep with his eyes open, he clearly needed the sleep but we didn’t notice till the classed ended. Maybe a fuck up now, but it is a great story.
