Today, I was so exhausted that I took a quick nap on the floor of my classroom during one of my free periods. I must have turned off the alarm I set, because I was gently woken up to the giggles of a whole class of students. To make matters worse, I was lying in a big puddle of my own drool. FML

hey FML legends! OP here. It's true. I fell asleep on my classroom floor... It's a beautiful classroom (which I keep very clean #26) and there are three steps going up onto a carpeted platform which was the scene of this particular crime... It wasn't a particularly comfortable nap, but I hardly noticed at the time. And it certainly was worth it - even considering the slightly-above-average levels of embarrassment I endured for it - I was so tired I was in that state that everything was funny except for my actual existence, which isn't exactly the best mindset to be mounding young minds from... I really should stop burning the candle from both ends! It's an all-girls school, and word spread pretty quickly... but luckily for me I was already regarded as the eccentric music teacher, so sleeping in my empty classroom during a free period is pretty tame in comparison to the things they probably expect from me ?

On one hand, I'm wondering why you slept on the floor, but on the other, the very idea of a clean, cool floor in an empty classroom, is making me feel sleepy. It's late. I'm tired.

At least you made their day! They'll be more awake and attentive ?

That's why sleep pods at my uni are a godsend.

I really want to make a snide remark about the educational system in South Africa but as a teacher here, you know.

I guess that'll be a story for those girls to talk about in later years.

If you ever want to play off something like this, say "They told me at the blood bank this might happen" or something along those lines.

I have never known a teacher to lay down on the floor and sleep. That's ridiculous. ydi
