In a hilarious video that has taken the internet by storm, a professor 'allowed' his students to sleep during the lecture, garnering praise from netizens. But here's a catch. 

The viral video, shared by Instagram users 'maardaalapsych' and two more, begins with a bunch of students arguing with one another. When noticed by the professor, one of them asks him which sentence is correct; 'you is sleep' or 'you can sleep'. The professor was seen smiling and replying 'you can sleep'.
