Why not sleep at school?

Answer 1

It might surprise you, but this answer is not going to be a lecture about how important all the things you are taught in school are going to be to you. The truth is that you won't use many of the things you are expected to learn much, if at all, once you are out of school. That doesn't mean that you should sleep at school, though. Even though you may not need the information in your lessons in the future, you will need the skills that you learn. Some of those skills are reading and comprehension, time management, focusing your attention, listening skills, math skills, writing skills, language skills, spelling, etc.

It might not seem like those are important to you now, but they will be important to you in the future; that is, unless you spend the majority of your life sleeping, and do not expect to be employed at any job when you become an adult. If you sleep in school now and need any of those skills in the future, you'll be learning them then or go through life struggling.

Another point: You are in school whether you want to be or not. Why not consider it an opportunity, rather than a burden, and use it to your advantage instead of sleeping through it? You just might be glad to have those skills mentioned earlier, and even much of the subject matter you learn, later on in life.
