Young adults today have sleeping issues during education classes.

Have you asked them?

I am not going to call them out and embarrass them.

But something is a miss here.

Blame technology and parenting.

If they are tired, they should sleep...but the tyrant cannot stand that, now can it!

Yes, its the food. Our food is full of herbicides and arsenic and neurotoxins and soy estrogen and corn sugar.

Enjoy your future nurses shitbrain.

The nurses are already brainwashed enough, a little sleeping will do them no harm.

give them 5 minutes for a power nap before you start the session.

They are used to and addicted to constant electronic stimulus especially of the adhd causing variety
30 second attention spans have been programmed into everyone since birth
It's especially easy with the advent of all these electronic devices
The addiction is often so severe that they can't even microwave dinner without tv or games yapping at them while they wait for 90 seconds
And without the stimulus they often simply shut down and glaze out
The ability to engage in Anything real life is severely retarded by these devices and stimulus
Teach your kids of the danger and keep them engaged in real life as a child
It is the only thing that protects against it
The devices are not a babysitter

Microdose methamphetamine should do the trick, or most commercially available energy drinks that secretly have legal meth in them anyway.

Damage from fluoride, heavy metal in vaccine and drinking water, coupled with background exposure to wifi and cellular frequencies.

I record all my courses wuth a recorder. Because some teacher talk way too fast or are boring or are inconsistent in the way that they teach, so you have no choice but to record them.

Me Too!!

Nurses are mean. Some are nice, some are not.

I always have coffee and beef sticks with me before and during class.

It's the vaccines. Find a profession that isnt forcing it on and killing your fellow man

Hate to say it but many kids/teens in school have tried to sleep in class for decades. Difference today is teachers are afraid to discipline or raise their voice at them out of fear someone's going to video tape them on their cell phone.

So they just ignore it and continue on.

If you think I"m wrong next time you see a kid sleeping in your class.. Slam your hand on their desk and raise your voice and say if you want to sleep in my class get out! and kick them out of class.

Guess how many other kids will be sleeping the rest of class.

Probably all the vaccines they took.

My observations after 23 years as a youth minister and now as a regular guy in the workaday world with people of all ages, many in their 20s. In no particular order:

Tech is disrupting sleep. People never shut down. Smart phones are on 24/7 and accessed at all hours, for hours.

Many young men are playing video games until the wee hours of the morning. I’ve known several who are severely addicted to World of Warcraft type games and I’ve seen it destroy marriages. Young men that I work with come dragging-ass into work, talking about “I didn’t get any sleep/I was up until 4 am playing video games.”

Energy drinks: many younger people are addicted to huge amounts of stimulant and sugar. They’re either hyper or crashing. The effect of these drinks on some is very pronounced; a seemingly different person entirely emerges based on the level of intake.

I find it difficult to even have a normal conversation with people anymore, especially young people in their 20s. They either won’t shut up or they lack the ability to listen and comprehend; they’ll just stare at you and appear lost or will literally just walk away while you’re responding to something they have said.

It’s amazing to watch.

This is your problem right here, you stopped communicating with your pupils at some point and expect them to read your mind.

This.

Nurses, don't like their job.

This is not high school. There are 20 + students.

It is just weird.

Many of these student are in college physician assisted program, doctorate or nurse practitioner.

They are the cream of the crop. Not lazy and definitively smart.

So. I am wondering if too much electronics are causing their brain to zone out.

Just bringing it to your attention. Thanks for comments.

Thank's

Right. My short answer to the OP is these people are sleep deprived and attention deficit

These are adult classes not high school.

It's not just young people, it's all people that are constantly engaged with the internet and social media.

Concentration, attention, thinking and all mental labor requires energy just like physical labor.

A large portion of the population regardless of age are spending many hours concentrating intently on their little screens scouring the net and social media.

All those hours of rapt attention are tiring them out and by the time they get to your class they are already mentally exhausted which makes it hard for them to pay attention in class without feeling tired.

There isn't much you can do about it because you can't control your students in the hours they are not in your class.

I would like to say that lowering the temperature is shooting you in the foot, because i know I and many others actually feel more tired when we are cold, more so then hot.

Burnout. 13 years of schools run like prisons. Forced extra-curriculars to look good for college. 8000 tests. The need to still hold a full time job while schooling. All the posturing on social media to look good for employers. Teachers who don't teach and assign their jobs as homework. Colleges micro-managing student's time. Forced indoctrination.

I mean really, what could go wrong?

I zone out if I am under flouerescent lighting.
Don't know why that is, but I do.
Even while attending seminars where I reall want to learn something new.
Maybe you can try different lighting or lamps? Teachers having to teach add or dyslexic students also have succes if they use a different color transparent sheet over the material being taught.
