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.

Retired teacher here. Years ago a new boy moved into our school community. He was 10 years old. During a period of group work I shouted out to him several times to get his attention. Finally one of his friends told him Hey! the teacher wants you. I figured something was not quite right here. Later that week I had a chance to read his “File”. I learned that his father had passed away several years ago, cancer, and his mother had remarried. This little boy took his new father’s last name, but while he was at it he changed his first name as well. From that day on if I wanted to ask him something I made sure that I first had eye contact with him. The rest of the year was awesome, he made many new friends and became a welcome member of the community.
