Student Falling Asleep in Class

WC

I am looking for strategies to help students who fall asleep in class.  It seems that there is no consistency in bedtime at home, and therefore the child has trouble staying awake at school.  This will happen especially when sitting doing independent work, on the carpet during group instruction or watching videos on the interactive board.  The teacher has tried having the child stand up and stretch, go get a drink of water, stand up while doing work instead of sitting.  Sometimes these things help, other times not.  Are there any different strategies that others might have tried?

I believe there was a 1989 study/article by Groenveld and Jan that stated
that subtest scaled scores (on visual portions of cognitive tests) vary
with visual acuity.

I may be wrong about the date or the authors, but if anyone has a reference
for this, or something like it, please contact me.

Just to make sure, has anyone considered non-twenty four hour wake sleep disorder for any of these children?  Are they all students with low vision?  Just a thought.
