Is it just me, or does anyone else experience twitching and jumping while they sleep? I really try to stay awake during class, but I often doze off. More than half the time, my body jolts, and I feel like I’m about to leap out of my seat. Then I have to act like nothing happened, which is so awkward! It makes my stomach drop. I’m honestly a bit scared to sleep in class. What could be causing this?
Here’s my full-time dual enrollment schedule for next year! I’ll be making a daily hour-long drive to the college campus, so I’m definitely going to be busy. Wish me luck! 😅

You’re definitely not alone in this!
