Is there a clear and easy way to tell when to use each one (in/on/at) ? specially in places where they sound very similar like "Do you feel sleepy at school or at work?" / "The players were on court for two hours" / "Originally found in all countries" - as all these uses of the three prepositions indicated a location . If (in/on/at) usage is depending on which words they are used with and not on the meaning, Is there a full list somewhere on the Internet that contains every word that is used with (in),(on) or(at)?
also, is it correct to say "Do you feel sleepy in school or in work?" as opposing to the original example?

  I (UK) would say 'at school', but I believe an American would say 'in school'. There are no formal rules, you just have to learn the idiomatic usage as you become more familiar with the English language.
