Can you sleep on a car or bus trip?

Absolutely. I can sleep on a bus trip. No problem. Like yourself however, if I have someone to chat with, that's another story. Almost always, if I am on a bus trip, I find a way to fall asleep. If I can not get the very back seat, so to somewhat curl up, laying down, then any seat will do. I usually will then go for a window seat and lean my arm up so I can fall asleep holding my head in my propped up arm. Perhaps it may look quite funny when seen from aside as well. lol. In a car trip, I am usually driving. If I am not then I am a passenger and unless the trip is by far longer than a few hours, it is unlikely that I would fall asleep as a conversation would be likely. Overall, I can sleep almost anywhere. I don't even have to be overly tired or even tired. I can make myself fall asleep. I love to dream as well.

Hi Biomechanoid! (Are you a fan of bioman?^^) I sleep on the bus or car during a long travel. Doesn't matter what position I'm in because I'm just a sleepyhead. But that's only during long travel. Like at least an hour. Because if it's short, I would try to be awake during the entire time. What's ironic is, even if it's a hot day and I'm riding a jeepney, I would feel sleepy. It's like the heat gets me sleepy. And I don't even like the heat. And I just can't understand why I get sleepy in a hot day.^^

Car, train or bus, television or computer, I can fall asleep anywhere. And I will also wake up with my mouth open and quite often I'll be drooling. The important thing to note here is that if you are a passenger in a car on a long distance trip it is your responsibility to stay awake and keep the driver from drifting off to sleep.

hahaha I usually do. Even in short trips like and hour or 30 minutes? I always sleep on the way. My husband keeps on complaining why I am always sleeping while in the car. I don't know why it is really nice to close our eyes when we are riding? hehehe.. My hubby is worried that I might sleep while driving hahaha!!! that's sacry

Sometimes I'm able to fall asleep but I can rarely stay asleep. I find it uncomfortable for one thing and for another I tend to be a rather nervous passenger so I like to watch the road at all times. My husband, on the other hand, falls asleep almost instantly if he's a passenger. All those years spending two hours a day on the school bus kind of conditioned him to sleep in a moving vehicle.

as much as possible I don't want to sleep in a public vehicle,like a bus or public utility van.I am afraid that someone might take advantage and steal my wallet or something.I try to keep an active eye and look around the bus or van to see who moves suspiciously.I can sleep when I am riding with a friend in his/her car.

I could sleep in a car if I was tired enough, but I usually can't. As for buses, I've only ever tried sleeping on a school bus and I ended up with a headache from my head banging against the window. Now PLANES... planes are very hard to sleep in.

Hahahaha. I can sleep easily on a trip, whether it be bus, car or plane.. Specially if I'm really really tired, I can just sit down, pay my fare, and after 5 minutes I'll be asleep. hehehee. I also feel what you feel, like my head starts to bob, and I would suddenly wake up when my body is leaning to one side already. Hehehehe.

Well, my friend! I usually don't sleep while on a journey by bus/car/train. I prefer to be seated by the window to feed my eyes with different natural scenarios. But when I get very tired, I unknowingly fall into a short sleep and wake up by a sudden bump or shake. Sometimes I lean aside on my co-passenger. Then It turns quite embarrassing for me and I apologize to him/her. I've never had the opportunity to travel by a plane, let alone sleeping. I think sleeping on a plane is very comfortable. Have a nice sleep.

I really cant sleep while travelling on a car or during a bus trip. On a plane I fall asleep easily, but on road its impossible :S. Doesnt matter how much time it takes the trip...5 hours or 15 hours, and at night... i cant.

its no prob with me, i can sleep on bus/car, even that's a public one. unless i don't know the route very well. i will try my best to keep my eyes open if that so. but if that is the usual route, or i'm in a tour or go with the family (which mean the car/bus is safe), i can just sleep in sitting position. quite not comfortable, and risky to have a pain in the neck when i wake up tho.

It's hard for me to sleep in a car or bus, especially at night. When I take Greyhound, I sit near the front and want to make sure the bus driver stays awake. I don't like sitting in the front seat of a car and will make sure I stay awake during night trips. I just don't trust people mainly because I've been in two situations where the driver fell asleep.

I seem to always fall asleep when in a car and we are going a long distance. It's not comfortable though! I prop my head on a window and stuff a blanket under my chin so it won't open on me. I have never been on a bus trip so I don't know if I would be able to sleep on one or not. The only other thing that I can somewhat sleep in for a trip would be in a plane. Since they will give you a pillow and blanket it is very easy to fall asleep, as long as you are not taking off or landing. But I seem to sleep okay in both a car and plane, at least for a good half hour to hour time.

I always sleep in a bus or a car except when i go through a new place which i haven't visited before.Because I want to see new places all the time.But long trips in buses and cars are really boring.I try to sleep when i get bored.I feel it's somewhat uncomfortable to sleep in buses and cars,but better in cars when i was alone in the backseat of the car.

before this i always sleep when the car's engin started..by now after got married, i am worried to sleep because i have kids to see how their situation in the journey..

I am able to sleep while in a car or on a bus when I know the people that I am sitting with. But, if I am sitting next to someone that I don't know, then sleeping is not a possibility at all. I will typically slouch against the person that is next to me and use them as a pillow. It definitely isn't the best quality sleep that I've ever experienced, but I think the lack of stimulation around me is the thing that makes me do this.

Usully i travel by train in 2tier air conditioned coach, this is most comfortable in day or night journeys, very rarely i move by bus, i have to if the place is not connected by train, we have 'sleeper coach' buses, it has some thing similar like the berths in trains, we have comfortable 'push-back' type seats in long distance buses, i prefer that, though costly... Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

Yeah I do. Especially when my class starts at 7 am and ends at 5:30 pm. Then I'll have to travel from our house to school at around one and a half hours. So I make a total of 3 hours of travel per day just to go back and forth school.

I have no problems either sleeping on a bus trip or a car trip, i do it quite freqantly acutally, for example five months ago the top 50 students of my year went on an exscursion to Tasmania, i was one of them. We all stayed up to the early hours of the morning and when we were on the move we all slept on the buss, it was quite funny the teachers said they never had a bus of Teenagers so quiet in her life.

I sleep sometimes when I'm in a bus or car for traveling,. But usually I will not able to sleep , because I always want to see the outside when I am traveling. but some of my friends always have habit of sleeping when travelling.. :)
