A more technical explanation:

The buff Sims get when waiting outside for class (buff_AutonomyMod_WaitingForClass) contain the following game effect modifiers:

<U n="autonomy_modifier">
<L n="locked_stats">
<T>16656</T>
<T>16654</T>
<T>16652</T>
</L>

The problem is that locked_stats does not just stop a stat from decaying. It will lock it to the max value and thus will fill it instantly. To fix this, use decay_modifiers instead of locked_stats 

<L n="decay_modifiers">
<U>
<T n="key">16656</T>
<T n="value">0</T>
</U>
<U>
<T n="key">16654</T>
<T n="value">0</T>
</U>
<U>
<T n="key">16652</T>
<T n="value">0</T>
</U>
</L>

Please be aware that a Sim’s hunger, energy, and bladder motives will no longer refill on their own just before class.

Fixed in Patch 1.59.73 .. such a good bug.

This happens to me also, but not just when going to class early. It will always happen though if my sim is going to class but my camera is still focused on the dorm. While this effect will happen 100% of the time, if I re-focus the cam on the sim, it will often revert back to the original state of my sim's needs, regardless if my sim is waiting to attend class early or already in class. However, if I stay focused on the dorm for the entirety of my sim being in class, the revitalized stats will remain full if I wait to refocus on my sim until after they've finished class.
