Afternoon Class

Teach me how to not sleep in class.

A whimsical animated short that uses surreal drowsiness and the metaphor of drowning to capture the disorienting, almost dreamlike struggle of staying awake during an afternoon class.

Drowsiness washes over me during the afternoon class. My head gets heavier as I try to stay awake in an afternoon class.
