Hi,
I just fell asleep in class with the camera off and when the professor called my name to make sure my group was ready to present I immediately woke up to say that I was in the lecture and almost had a heart attack because missing this specific lecture is an automatic fail. I wanted to ask anyone as to why we wake up if someone calls our name even when we’ve been asleep for 10+ minutes, but don’t wake up when hearing other people’s names or the lecture content.

Recommended reading for everyone that clicked on this thread: “Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain” by Dr. David Eagleman. Written in layman’s terms it breaks down how the division between conscious and subconscious actually works without nebulous analogies etc. Not an ad, I just really love the book and think you guys might enjoy.
