This has to be one of the most accurate depictions of drowsiness I've ever seen

[etheriousjackal]

The way they animated his head falling again and again, transforming into weighted objects as he tries to stay awake is so spot on to what it actually feels like when you're ever in that sort of position. Especially because you start dreaming once your half asleep.

[steponbucket]

Props to the teacher who didnt yell at everyone to wake and instead let everyone sleep.

[deniedprosperity]

I love how the end showed the teacher himself experienced how tired he really was, just goes to show how you don't often ever realize that the teachers at our school literally have to follow schedules, remember all of their students ' names, try to remember what topic they're in, technical problems and having to try and fix something while the students don't ever help, teaching, discussing and talking for hours without break. Especially when you think of how the average math teachers are usually strict due to stress.

[Shahurl]

I like how his the only one that's trying so hard to keep himself awake while the rest of the students is asleep.

[roughrider]

His potrayal of dozing jn class in absolutely on point. The swinging of head and feeling like its so heavy is exactly what it feels like

[Justin-iusw]

I guess the teacher is waiting for the last student take a nap than he can go rest too.loool

[TheWorldsLargestOven]

I love how the teacher was just glad that he could get some rest

[melinaa]

THIS. This is EXACTLY how it feels like, being on the edge between being asleep and awake. Desperately trying to escape the overpowering urge to follow the softness into the dream. We all knew, he never stood a chance haha

[ureshiiiiii]

This is SUCH an accurate representation of how it feels on those extremely tiring days in class...

[akiishigami]

Its nice that the teacher is still teaching he only stop when the last kid fell asleep

[SkellyofSkellington]

The first person pov is the most relatable, your brain is literally transitioning between ”im awake" and "imma sleep” in seconds 😭

[wertbe]

Moral of the story: Get everyone in the class to fall asleep so the teacher just stops

[kokokokotata]

I like how this teacher doesn’t wake everyone up instead, he just goes to sleep too

[g.oo.b]

This is why we need to bring back kindergarten nap time

[alice.off..]

It’s incredible how the author conveyed this feeling when you want to fall asleep. The scene with the head is especially true, how it swings in different directions and with each tilt it becomes heavier and heavier. While watching it I want to yawn and sleep. This is simply incredible!

[NoName-msjb]

I like how they showed that yawning is contagious. The kid behind him yawned and it blew through his shirt and made him yawn. Amusing and creative.

[jonathanborrelli]

This video is the definition of artist, being able to represent a feeling that everyone feels but no one is able to explain properly

[PasswrdYT]

why is this seriously what trying not to fall asleep in class feels like

[shelazy_wolf]

As a high school student who has to wake up at five AM every morning just to get to school, I related to this immensely. The feeling of a heavy head and struggling to keep your eyes open is something I experience almost daily.
