AsleepInClass is a common staple of school-related comedies, with the event often leading to the public embarrassment of the character in question. Offending students, if caught, will surely draw the ire of their teacher, which usually leads to the student being awakened by a stern chewing out or by having class supplies thrown at them. Sometimes the sleeper will become a victim of FaceDoodling at the hands of their classmates. Alternatively, they may give away the fact that they were asleep with a WakingNonSequitur.

->The only thing worse than waking up and haveing to go to school is waking up and being in school.
