sleeping in a public transportation

This happened to me too as I am getting older now. I get easily tired and tend to sleep whenever I got a comfortable seat, be it in the monorail, trail, bus or massage chair. When in the LRT/MRT train, I will just get out and take the next opposite direction train to my destination (if I forget to come down at my destination earlier). Normally when I am with my son, I will asked him to wake me up one station before reaching the destination.

Many people sleep in train or bus. So they do in their own car (on a parking place or next to the road). If you are sleepy it's always better to sleep as to go on like a zombie and get into an accident.

I also guilty of this when I am traveling by car or jeep. I think it is inevitable for me since I don't do anything except sit and hope that the journey's over in the duration of travel time. I think some of my fellow passengers are also in the same situation and they try to catch some sleep in-between. Fortunately, i always wake up before I reach my destination but I feel like a zombie when getting out of the vehicle. It's like you're been forced to be awake and quite don't know what you're gonna do next.

Well I used to take a nap when I am in commute but if I know the passengers around me since its a terminal for our town so people used to know each others already.I sleep especially if the traffic is really terrible and will take a long time before I reach home.

I never try to sleep in a public transport except if I have someone with me who is awake. My brother is always a victim of pickpockets on a public transport because he is always sleeping on his way home. It's either his mobile or wallet or both.

Oh, that so crazy, HAHA!

What I am most fear about sleeping in a public transport is being robbed. I do not bring valuables with me except for my cellphone and wallet, but just knowing that something you own gets lost and stolen does make you feel bad.

I remember seeing a man on a commuter train line in Tokyo lying on his side, taking all the seats on that seat branch with him. Everyone was watching him with a mixture of amusement and pity.

haha, that has already happened with me. Once or twice i even crossed my place where i have to get down. Actually that happens with out our knowledge. suddenly we fell asleep and cross the stop.

It is a bad trip if you slept in the jeepney and then it takes you to somewhere new. This experience also happened to me once and i swore to myself that i will never sleep in a public transportation again unless the time for me to get to the destination i want takes a long time like 8 hours. When that sort of experience or thing happens to me, i usually pretend i know where i am going just to avoid embarrassment. I know this happened almost to everyone unless they are not taking any public transportation at all. Well, it's really hard to work hard and then you go home drained. I understand what you are going through, so that's why we have to drink energy drinks to stay energetic and sleep at least 7 hours a night to regain that which was lost. Have a great day!

Hi friend, i too slept in buses several time during my school days. We are doing this due to our stress and tiredness. But we must avoid this kind of activities. Too much of work will made us to go to sleep without our knowledge

I once experience sleeping in a public vehicle, that was when I had my inventory at batangas here in the Philippines where in it ended overtime at 3am in the morning. It was a tiring day for me because I wake up early Sunday morning about 4am because I have to travel for about 4hours to get to Batangas early. So therefore my work was a 24hours. So when we finished our inventory I was too sleepy and tired that makes me sleep in a bus after I paid the bus and gave a 200peso bill. But the conductor has no change for the bill so he said he'll give it to me when he already has a change. When I woke up I just realize that I am on my destination so I rushed up to get off the bus immediately without noticing that I didn't get my change to the conductor of the bus. That was a mistake that I never did again when I am traveling, sleeping without getting first my change then sleeping. The change was charge to experience thou ^_^

I also guilty sleeping in a public vehicle sometimes. Especially when I'm really tired. I just can't help sleeping, and I don't mind if people see me sleep. But I try to, as much as possible, avoid it. Especially if I'm travelling alone.

LOL haha, makes me remember same thing but luckily I did not go as far as meter away from my stop. In my case I'm not really that tired, it's only that public jeepney is like a cradle and you can't just stop yourself from falling asleep. haha XD

hmmm.. Guilty as charged. Yes, when I was in the Philippines, I studied in Manila, when I worked, I worked in Quezon City, and I was coming from Rizal. There were a lot of major constructions during that time. In Manila, Rosario and Kalentong bridges were contructing. When I worked in Quezon City, LRT2 was being constructed. Imagine how traffic it was during those days. I was not lucky enough to get away from it. Imagine the hardship of travelling, leaving the house so early so you wont be late to your destination. Traffic was terrible just anywhere. So I slept in the jeep, since it was traffic and I woke so early. Trying to compensate the missed sleep and rest that was deprived of me. Me too, guilty.
