I'm not completely sure I dozed maaaybe for a sec or two...
I had Art History class first thing in the morning (Art College). Past eatly grade school was no longer a morning type person.
I'd tended to be nearly late, and ended up sitting on a high stool with someone sitting below me.
Oh, did I have to fight to keep myself awake and not tumble onto the person below me! 😄

Typography class first morning class. Chin on folded arms on the table. Struggle, and Out! They left me alone, and I slowly reawoke. I guess just a few mins.

The most excellent nap I ever had!
Working on a round table at the "entrance way" to our sort of narrowish work section at 90° degrees to the main walkway. I had my chair next to the wall. Was doing ten-key adding machine stuff with my right hand, and writing the results down w my left hand.

Your typical mid-afternoon energy slump. Fight those dozys! Fight, fight, fight,...
fiiii....Zzzzzzzz....
I don't think I was out too long. I found myself slowly opening my eyes. oHh.. blink, blink.
But then I was totally awake, and went zipping right back to work for the rest of the day! 😄
