In such situations it was very easy for my eyes to droop. Often I would have an experience similar to what you're describing.

Have plenty of normal sleep at the normal hours.

Any big psych studiers out there? How am I doing?
Thank for the responses guys. It stopped happened since the last time i posted, but the weather has been getting cooler so maybe it played a small part. But yeah it was after I returned from the lab, so maybe it supposed to be more comfortable dozing off inside a normal classroom than a biological hazardous laboratory

Normally i only fell asleep on bus.


Btw, got a serious question here that need helps.
My friend signed an internet contract (Virgin if anyone want to know), but then cancelled it within cool-down period because he needed to move to a new place. Somehow Virgin did not cancel his contract, and kept stacking up his bills despite he's no longer there. Recently he got notice from a debt collecting company to his new address (he then has been contacting Virgin to solve the issues).

The problem is, that debt collecting firm not supposed to have his new address (they lied that they got it from the contract, but the contract was in the old address). So we are suspecting they somehow kept a record of his name and address in their database (maybe from a different service company e.g. water and energy) and just uses it as they fit. In that case, I don't believe it's legal to keep private information of people as a third party without permissions.

So my question is, is there a specific law to protect private information in that cases (e.g. Privacy Act? ) ? Something which we can use to deter the debt collector from keeping his information for future harassment?
