It can be difficult to tell which students are simply tired and do not share many characteristics with the silent student as it is outlined by the text. The tired student is one that is best counseled independently. I ask the student if they are working more hours or studying too much. Many of my students are working mothers and they will say that their kids are keeping them up. Either way, you are encouraging the student to get enough sleep to be prepared for class.
