Young adults today have sleeping issues during education classes.

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.

I have been teaching Nursing courses for 17 years. It includes lecture and bed side demonstration and practice time.

This last year, for the first time...

I notice so many student are zoning out shutting their eyes.

Before you write nasty notes to me about my teaching, I will say NO.... it is not me as a teacher. I talk loud and I am very engaging instructor.

I think it is something else.
There minds are over-whelmed.

Also kids today don't seem to have just common sense.

Nursing is very technical and very step by step memorization of clinical skills.

I have taught these classes for over 17 years.

I am keeping the AC down lower to make them cold so they wont go to sleep.

But I truly believe something is very off her with the young people.

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.

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

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

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

Your writing skills are subpar for being a teacher for 17 yrs. are you adjunct faculty or something? Anyway, lowering the a/c is not going to fix the problem. It might make it worse. And who cares if they don’t pay attention to what professional dick face has to say, it’s their money, their life. As long as they’re passing their exams and the NCLEX, what do you care?

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

But something is a miss here.
