So, in high school, I had some issues staying awake in class following sophomore year. I would be paying attention in class, then I'd wake up, realizing I had fallen asleep.
I figured I'd grow out of it, but it hasn't gone away.
Just so you know, I am not narcoleptic, and I stay awake normally. Just in some classes in college now, I'm missing some material. Not much now, but I hate that I'm falling asleep and could possibly miss some very important information.
So, any advice on how to stay awake that doesn't involve caffeine?

You're normally pretty active aren't you? Its mostly the sedentary way you have to sit in class coupled with the cool temp from the a/c. If you find yourself dozing start moving: chew gum tap your fingers on your legs, tap your feet, roll your pen, or even get up and walk around a bit. Try wearing a shirt that's a size too small under your normal one or something.
