Wilfredo, very creative use of classroom management and looks like you did as good a job as possible to be discrete yet diffuse the situation to a positive resolve. I would be interested in hearing what you yourself may have learned from such an experience. Did you change anything about your delivery method or your classroom management style so sleepy students did not repeat such an experience in your future classes? Experience can be a very effective teacher and I am always interested in those lessons learned by instructors and other education specialists when they have such situations take place in their classrooms. Thanks again for sharing your experiences and your methodology towards resolution. In this case you also shared a result of your actions which was most effective. Regards, James
