1. A possible hypothesis would be that the student might not be receiving a substantial amount of sleep to keep him awake throughout the day.
2. This hypothesis can be tested by following the student home to calculate the amount of hours he sleeps overnight. I would then have to follow the student the following day to see the effects of the amount of sleep he received. If the student was lacking in the amount of recommended hours of sleep and falls asleep at some point in his day, whether in class or not, then it would support my hypothesis. However, if the student did receive the recommended amount of sleep and still falls asleep then the evidence would suggest that my hypothesis would be falsified.
3. An untestable explanation that could not classified as a scientific hypothesis would be if the student was getting magically hypnotized by the teacher's voice into a deep sleep after fifteen minutes of hearing it.
