oh, fatigue...

Hi! I have a little question. I know that many MSers struggle with fatigue, so maybe someone has similar experience. So, I currently study at university, and I fall asleep during lectures. And it shows in my grades. Morning classes are ok, but afternoon ones... It's just impossible for me to stay awake. The more I try, the more distracted, angry and tired I am. And it's not like the lectures are boring... I don't want to ask professors if I could record them, many of them wouldn't allow that anyway, and relying on other people's notes is risky. Do you know any way to stay awake?

I find the afternoons very difficult, in I can sleep between 1-3 . If you are at uni,the staff should be able to help. Rescheduling, taping lectures in the afternoon etc., I am usually ok if I have had a sleep, so can do dinner, make some calls etc., but I am 62 and have had the beast for 24 years so am well used to my body and have learned what I can and can't do. If you are falling asleep at this stage you have to find out what is normal/good for you because this is likely to carry on in working life and though employers are expected to make reasonable changes, but only if you are already employed by them, so you may need to look for work where you can work from home or in2 chunks, morning and late afternoon/early evening. Don't what employment law is like in your country so find out all you can now and go from there.😍
