I feel really bad sometimes that I don't even understand what's going on in the lectures!

Do you have any ideas to overcome this problem?

Here are few tips to overcome sleepiness during lectures

1. Have a shower before you go to the class & drink a good cup of caffeine
2. Exercise & eat appropriate food
3. Chew gum or mint products could be one of the good choice
4. Bring a water bottle, and drink plenty of H2O
5.Walk off the sleepiness by taking a trip to the bathroom
6. Interact with your professor
7. Sit in the front row, or at least in the middle! The closer you are to the professor, the less likely you are to fall asleep due to volume

Thank you Neo

Your tips are really helpful. But the chewing gum one is not for the strict professors' lectures right?
