Hi friends, Many people have the habit of falling asleep as soon as they get into the car or train.I sometimes feel like laughing when they fall asleep and falling on everyone near them.Sometimes they even fall down when sudden brakes are used in the car or bus..I once really couldn't help laughing at a person when he fell down sleeping ,but I felt bad and tried to control my laugh.Have you come across such situation and have you laughed like that not able to control yourself?

I don't usually sleep when I travel for the very reason that I don't want to get laughed at by other people when I fall on someone else's shoulders. But I do find it amusing when I see people sleeping while traveling. Sometimes it's really irritating when it's my shoulders they fell upon. Argh.

It doesn't matter even if it's a short trip or a long one, I fall asleep instantly. I like the steady rhythm of the car and it's like hushing me to sleep. I look awful when I fall asleep in the car but I don't really care that much. What matters to me is that I get some rest whenever I can :D

Hi friend,Its a kind of lullaby to some people that they get sleep as soon the car starts moving.Even the small children sleep very soon in the moving car.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

No I never manage to fall asleep during travelling because I am always on the look out to see new scenery and places. I remember that after a six hour journey by busy from the desert in Tunisia I was the only passenger with my eyes wide open.

I sometimes fell asleep when I'm in a bus, specially when I'm taking the air-conditioned one. But I'll make sure I have plenty of space to rest my head so I won't take the fall whenever sudden brakes are applied to the bus. These cases are applicable to me whenever I am traveling long distance, cause I want to rest for awhile while taking the ride, but in instances where travel time doesn't take an hour I stay up on my senses and just observing the environment. I also witness those who take a ride and sleep then fall on someone near him. It didn't make me laugh yet I'm thinking for myself maybe s/he is tired of his/her busy day. I also have someone that fall on me while she sleeps, that makes her lean on my shoulder, I just let her sleep on my shoulder, I didn't mind at all.
