I fell asleep late again. Lately I can't fall asleep before four or perhaps five AM, I just lie on the bed and nothing really happens like it usually does. This time, again, I woke up late because of that (on top of my alarm choosing not to ring today, since I forgot to turn it on last night) and missed a class, again, so I am closing into the tread of failing the class due to absences despite getting an A in the midterm. (Turns out, if you don't show up at all then being a good student doesn't matter. A stupid policy that if you have half a brain it just forces you to be here than actually being productive)

Attendance requirements are unnecessary if a student can demonstrate knowledge of the material regardless. I discussed that with a professor before regarding my own attendance issues. Perhaps you could do the same?

It's not something on the professor's jurisdiction. It's a college-wide policy.
