The syllabus probably only describes the times when you miss an exam because of an excused absence. Excused absences generally include documented illnesses, university-approved events, and death in one's immediate family. Clearly, oversleeping is not an excused absence.
Overslept. Oversleeping is a good reason for being late but not much of an excuse to give to work. It makes you sound lazy, disorganised and probably a drinker. Blaming equipment is a reasonable excuse.
I suggest you explain to your professor that you apologize for missing class but you slept through your alarm. and then share a plan for not doing it again.
Don't mince words during that call: Express some kind of regret, say you'll be there in some number of minutes, and get to the office before then. Don't make any pronouncements to your coworkers, don't rend your clothes and don a sackcloth to express your remorse. Just get to your desk.
Have overslept (school) how do I explain that to my parents? Be honest and straightforward, and take accountability. This is the sort of mistake anybody could make once or twice — it's not something that should be happening routinely. Find out what you missed at school and how you can make up the work.
Some children are all-night sleepers, but they're in the minority. It's natural for babies and children to want to sleep with their parents, or very close to them, as it's a primal thing to do. A look at young dependent mammals will attest this - they all sleep next to their parents/mother.
DEAR CONCERNED: It is not appropriate for parents to co-sleep with adolescent children, partly because adolescents need and deserve some privacy, as they engage in the developmentally important process of figuring out who they are and what they're about.
The best last-minute excuses to miss work include personal illness, family emergency, doctor's appointments, child care, mental health challenges, death of a loved one, and household problems. In fact, any unforeseen circumstance that requires your attention is among the best last-minute excuses to miss work.
Maybe you oversleep because you're fighting off an illness, or you're catching up after a few nights of sleep deprivation. However, consistently oversleeping may be the sign of a sleep disorder, mental health disorder, or other health issue.
Idiopathic hypersomnia
In some cases, even after providing a full diagnosis, doctors may not know the underlying reason for oversleeping. This is known as idiopathic hypersomnia.
I'm so sorry I overslept and missed our {meeting/brunch date/etc.} {this morning/yesterday/etc.}. I had set {number of} alarms on my phone to make sure I would wake up on time, but unfortunately that didn't work. I guess I was just too tired from {last night/the night before}...
Sleep studies tell us that napping—even in class—can actually enhance academic performance and cognitive function. Research shows that even short naps of 20-30 minutes can improve cognitive performance, attention, and memory retention.
For students especially, getting at least eight hours of sleep is crucial. A study at the National Sleep Foundation found that without a good night's rest, students will find themselves unable to focus, learn, and concentrate in class.
We do not recommend sleeping for only one hour at night. Some research suggests that lost sleep can take years off your life and that you may not be able to catch up on the lost hours of rest. This is because consistent sleep deprivation can cause a myriad of chronic health issues in people over time.
Get moving. You might feel that exercise is the last thing on your mind. But, in fact, regular exercise will make you feel less tired in the long run, so you'll have more energy. Even a single 15-minute walk can give you an energy boost, and the benefits increase with more frequent physical activity.
It's not unheard of for a teenager to occasionally sleep 12 hours — teens need 8-10 hours a night. However, if your teen is sleeping through their weekend or crashing as soon as they get home from school, it's cause for concern. Excessive sleepiness in teenagers is often a sign of teen fatigue syndrome.
According to researchers at the Loughborough University U.K.-based Sleep Research Center, 1 women do use their brains more than men – so much more so that, yes, they do require more sleep.
Unexcused absences aren't scheduled or authorized by an employer. For example, if an employee decides to take a personal day without communicating with their employer or making advanced arrangements, that is generally an unexcused absence.
Examples of Excused Absences:
Illness (absences exceeding three days may require a physician statement). Medical/Dental appointments (we highly encourage you to make these appointments outside of school hours). Required county/state court appointments. Religious instruction (Not to exceed 3 hours in one week).
There's no set age when it's okay for kids to begin having sleepovers, and children vary greatly in terms of when they (and their parents) feel ready. For many children, a sleepover at a friend's house is their first time away from home.
6-12 years old: should go to sleep between 7:30 and 8:30 pm. 13-18 years old: should go to sleep around 10:00 pm. Bare in mind that once puberty hits, it will be difficult for teenagers to fall asleep until around 11 pm.
There are no hard and fast rules about the right age: some 6-year-olds might be ready to sleep away from home, some 11-year-olds might not be. So it's important for parents to assess each opportunity individually.
