Do you sleep when you travel long distances?

I do. I am a bus sleeper and like your Gandma I don't miss my bus stop. I don't know why but I wake up whenever I'm near my destination. I was better with it before because I can sleep almost throughout the whole travel. Now, I only sleep for 30 of 40 mins tops.

nuh i dont slep while travelling, i used to travel during the day coz i want to enjoy the scenery that is ahead of my way and i feel so good when i watch them over while i travel. happy mylotting =)

During travelling long distances, I sleep usually if I travel by train. But in travelling by bus, I never sleep or rarely sleep. Of coures, I haven't missed my bus stop for the destination, if I sleep any time! Sleeping relaxes body and mind during travelling and hope, you to try for it! Thanks for this nice topic on sleep!!

Sure, especially on plane rides or bus rides across towns or countries. Especially when I am tired or sleepy.

No, I can never sleep while travelling. I guess it could have something to do with me being a bit of a control freak! I like to be aware of my surroundings at all times. I cannot even look at a book while in the car, I have to be looking at everything that is around me.

I do sleep on long distances travel. Usually our trip is at night time to avoid traffic. That's why I do sleep. But even during daytime travel I can still sleep especially if I do nothing.

I sleep well the night before and if I can I do during the journey as I really don't like being unable to do anything. I travel by coach to a local seaside place here the United Kingdom and I tend to fall asleep for 50% of the way their, on the way back I'm asleep pretty much the whole way. Personally I like to keep my energy up.

Sometimes, I will sleep, when I travel long distance. However, it really depends on the travel, whether or not I'm tired, whom I'm with, and such. It will vary.

I only sleep when I'm traveling with someone else, when I travel alone I never sleep, even when I am extremely tired. But to be frank I dislike sleeping while traveling because it's really uncomfortable and when I'm waking up I'm always hurting somewhere.

during travel, as much as possible i don't like to sleep. i prefer to see the sights that i can pass by through out the journey.for me, in that way i can know the place i had pass so that when i do come back i am already familiarized with the place. there are people who does like you grandmother. it is because they already know the distance and the time it took for them to reach their destination so there would be like an alarm in their brain that would signal them that they are near their destination. when i ride a public vehicle, i sometimes do that, and i never miss my stop.

OH YES i DO! eSPECIALLY SINCE i HAVE BEEN PREGNANT! i'M SOON NODDING AWAY - AS SOON AS WE HIT THE MOTORWAYS, MY HUSBAND SAYS i SNORE, BUT i DON'T BELIEVE HIM!!

I can sleep in short and long distances travelling except when I'm not familiar on the places I'm going.

When i am travel long distance,i will sleep while travelling.Long distance travel is so tired that many people would sleep.The driver is also tired in long distance travel.So the bus need two drivers in long diatance travel.

It depends if I'm familiar with a place and if I have company. I might dooze off in case it is a long travel and I know where I'm going. During trips, I'm often the one leading the group so I can't sleep, unless we've taken a tour package, I'll take a look at the scenery first, but if it's all the same.... then I'll plug my Ipod and sleep. I do make sure I also bring a neck pillow for trips.:)

Hi velentina, me too could hardly fall asleep while traveling, no matter it's a short or long distance journey. I envy your granny who could enjoy her proper sleep even in her short distance riding. It's really awesome as well she has never missed to leave for her destination every time My husband is the type of person that could fall asleep easily while riding on any public transport. He even could fall into sleep while chatting with me. He is as fortunate as your granny as well for he would awaken a short while before reaching the destination Therefore for killing the monotonous time after feeling bored and tired to watch the receding scene outside the window there is always a book in my bag. Happy posting

I sleep on long trips but not on the city bus. It is hard to stay woke on really long trips.

Well I do sleep if the Journey is long One.Mostly I travel by train and there is lot of space to sleep in the train.So I make the full use of opurtunity.the Good thing is that You nenevr know When your journey is Over.

Normally, I will take the first available bus and it will be real early. So while on the journey, I will catch a nap. And once I have reach my destination, I am ready to go straight into sight seeing.

most of the time , we travel using the car , and I realy get bored , so I sleep . mostly I will fall asleep after 5 minute .

I always travel long distances, and I am a bus sleeper. I love sleeping, that's why I can sleep everywhere. Err, I think it is a bit tiring for you not sleeping during your travel. Nah, I just amazed that you can't sleep while travelling. That is also a blessing. *I think :D
