00I put my hands on the desk, put my head on them and go to sleep. Can I use a verb or a phrasal verb to describe this way of sleep? Can I say I sleep on the desk? 02br

00Some students do not sit properly. During lessons, they like to put their hands on their desks and put their heads on their hands, but they are not sleeping. They just like to sit like that. Any verb describe this way of sitting? Apart from telling these students to sit properly or straight, what other ways a teacher can say to tell them to sit properly

0If you are telling them off, you might stay "Stop lolling about, and sit up properly" (at least, that's what my teachers used to say to me when I was a child!). 02br

00I can't think of a specific phrase to describe this - I think I would just tend to say "asleep with his head down on the desk".0-
