Watch their level of breathing. When someone is faking their sleep their breathing may appear normal, however their breathing is at a faster pace, compared to someone that is really sleeping.

How do you tell if someone is fake sleeping?

Firstly, check their breathing. If they are breathing at a normal pace, they are awake. If they are breathing slow and relaxed, then they could be in deep sleep. Next, look at their eyes. Look closely at their eye muscles and see if they are tense or relaxed; if they are tense, the person is probably fake sleeping, whereas if the muscles are relaxed, then the person is likely to be asleep. Try tickling them and if they giggle straightaway, then they are faking sleep. Call on them and say something like "I know you're awake. I can tell if someone is awake or not and you're doing the worst sleeping imitation I've ever seen" or something like that. Usually, theyll give up and laugh and say "you're good" and compliment you so as not to embarrass themselves.


You were sleeping the other night you normally lay on your stomach while you sleep while you were sleeping it felt as if someone was holding you down in your sleep you couldnt move it was like you wer?

I used to have dreams that someone was sitting on me and tickling me for a long time. You never can tell if it's a dream or if it's real.

Try having them look at a ceiling fan. if it as no effect on them what so ever they are probally faking, if they try to follow one on the fan blades with their eyes then they are probally high. but if they are like really frreaking out they are probally not.im talking about weed. i have no idea how to tell if they are on any serious drugs.
