* This happens to [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Gaz]] at one point in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13473286/1/Gaz-Taster-of-PTSD Gaz, Taster of PTSD]]'', due to the SleepDeprivation she is suffering due to [[PlaguedByNightmares recurring nightmares]]. Unfortunately for her, she has another one during this incident, resulting in her [[CatapultNightmare bolting awake screaming]], embarrassing her in front of her whole class.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' begins with [[GoodMorningCrono protagonist Lloyd being woken up]] by his teacher Raine throwing an eraser at him for sleeping in class. Incredibly, he's not only sleeping standing up, but holding two buckets of water, presumably as punishment for having previously fallen asleep at his desk.

It's a RunningGag throughout the rest of the game that [[TheWatson he needs basic worldbuilding facts explained to him]] because he kept sleeping through the classes where he was supposed to learn them.

* ComicBook/MilesMorales didn't get that far, just "yawning in class", but the teacher noticed it anyway.



* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Spider-Man has been known to do this in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko''. However, in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManJMichaelStraczynski'', he approached this from the other side on one occasion when he worked as a science teacher. Fortunately for the student, he was a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and, rather than chewing her out, took the time to find out if she was having any trouble at home (turns out she was).

* In the second ''Film/SisterAct'' movie, Sister Mary Clarence gently, but firmly chastises a student for this--"I like you, but I don't want you catching zzzz's in my class anymore", dismissing his complaints about managing school and a job.

This 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 [[ChuckingChalk 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.

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 [[ChuckingChalk by having class supplies thrown at them.]] However, a more benevolent teacher might talk to the student after class, and ask them if they are having a hard time sleeping at home. 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.

* In ''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'' it isn’t unheard of for the *teacher* to do this. If Aizawa doesn’t think his guidance is necessary on a subject, he’ll let the class representatives take over and crawl into his yellow sleeping bag for a nap.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'': Jeremy was sleeping in class in one strip due to spending the night writing a history essay. Since everyone else plagiarized their essays off the internet, including a classmate who advised Jeremy to do the same, the teacher lets this slide.
