My uncle does not like to sleep and if sleep over shadows him he will walk while sleeping for real I've seen him do it,any way when i was 5 years old i took the bus with him,i was planning to spend the weekend with his wife and children believe me,it was an all day drive and he wouldnot wake up,so i joined him, we arrived at his house in the night. Thanks to my uncle i had a all day bus ride.

I used to sleep on the schoolbus back in junior high. I was one of the first to get picked up so it was like a 30 minute ride to school. I would just lean up against the window or sprawl out on the seat. It wasn't great sleep, but it was much needed sleep. I haven't fallen asleep on a public bus, but on baseball road trips I try to sleep all of the time. Now a days I never pass up on a chance to catch up on sleep.

Yea, I have spent a lot of time on buses so I have figured out a few ways to get comfortable. I have trouble when I am sitting with a partner on a charter bus. If i am sitting alone then I will have no problems at all.

The first thing when i board the bus is I push the seat backwards and sleep off. I do this on my way to the college and back home. My friends wake me up when the college comes.very fortunately while coming back home mine is not the last stop!

I've fallen asleep on the bus, it's not exactly peaceful rest, though.

The only peace you will get my friend is going home,maybe some where in your subconscious mind you were thinking of your stop and not falling asleep.

Hello you reminded me an incident that happened several years ago, i was going to our state capital 400 kms away by bus, i asked a copassenger sitting near to remind me if i fell asleep, as the bus's last stoppage was another point beyond that, i fell asleep to be awakened by the bus conductor at the last point only, i had to come back in another bus 6 hours after.. Thanks for sharing. Professor. . Cheers
