I also experience such that situations. When i travel far, i have a sitmate in a bus who is a woman. Few minutes later she already fall asleep. then she veered to me with a mouth open. Yuckyy!! her saliva almost to come out on her mouth and remember she is a woman.

Hi asliah, very rare i will travel in bus, if it is a long journey then i prefered to travel in a Train. When i was doing graduation i sometimes used to go by bus to my college, i never tried to sleep in the bus but i observed many will sleep. Lean and sleep is something like annoyed i too agree, but some people will not have that sense when they are sleeping. So we can tell them. Have a nice day.

I always sleep when I'm on land travel and sea travel but in air travel I always stay awake. Most of the time I experience Jet log. The best travel that I can sleep easy was inside a bus. When I am riding a bus few minutes after I seat in I caught myself sleeping. I don't know what the reason behind of this habit.

No, I can never sleep on public transportation. I don't trust anybody enough to do that. I am also afraid I would snore or do something embarrassing! lol! I had a man fall asleep on my shoulder once on an airplane. I didn't know what to do, so I just let him stay there. It was so strange! But, funny at the same time. He was also cute so that made it better :-)

Sometimes i sleep while i travel because i easily get travel sickness and sometime would throw up so what i do is take a medication for my dizziness to stop and the effect is usually be sleep. I try not to veer on others shoulders because i myself hated being veered on. But if that's the case i will only say sorry to the person i veered on when i wake up. That's the reason why i hated to travel alone because i usually go to sleep. It annoys me if someone veers on me so what i do is i sometimes find a seat far from the sleeping passenger of if there's no vacant seats i will just try to have my shoulder away from that person.

It really annoys me when a complete stranger beside me sleeps on my shoulder while in a bus. But this is a usual sight these days especially in the morning when those graveyard-shift employees of call centers headed back home from work. But some are just half-asleep and they know when they are beginning to lean on you. Hay, buhay.

Yes i always sleeping on travel and I like to sleep. There are times hat i always reached my destination but still sleeping. I like to travel at the air condition bus because i feel comfortable. Sometimes because this is my habit to sleep while on travel even at jeepney and small vehicle i was asleep. Embarrassing one time happened to me i fall down to the bench of bus because of deep sleeping. And i had a lot of experienced on travel because of this habit of sleeping and to tel you the truth this is automatic to me once i sit i feel sleepy.

I've seen cases like these on the trains in my country before. Well, when I was small, I went out with my mother and I was too tired that my head veered into another person's shoulder too but that person didn't mind as I was still a kid. People are tired nowadays and they've no choice.

I can never sleep when I am traveling. I wish I could. It would make the trip go so much faster. I guess when you take public transportation you take the chance of a stranger falling asleep on you. I have never had that happen, but if it did I am sure I would feel uncomfortable!

Well there was a time that I felt asleep on a long distance journey with taxi and another 3 passengers who I didn't know. I felt asleep for the whole 2 and a half hour journey because I was very tired. I keep realising that I was veering my head on the man's shoulder next to me but I could not help myself but keep sleeping. Maybe the guy realised that I was very comfortable sleeping on his shoulder so he just let me to for the whole journey LOL. But from that on, I don't sleep in the bus anymore, but if I do then I will start sleeping by using my bag as a pillow at the other side so I don't move my position when I was sleeping and will not disturb anyone. Have a nice day to you

hahaha..... see two days before i was in traveling in a train to my uncle's house i got a seat reserved for me not for sleeping but for sitting only. while traveling in that train as the train moves i was sleeping just by sitting only. i think people enjoy sleeping in rides. because as the vechile moves them it feels so good that one can sleep in that. you might have seen some babys when they dont sleep their mothers try to keep them in3hand and move their hands and the baby sleeps because he/she enjoys it. i think we to feel the same and enjoy that and sleep.

I am a typical person who really loves to travel so when I am in a plane i usually sleep most of the time because I need to be energized when I get off of it. Whenever I ride a boat as well as if I am travelling by land, I don't sleep at all because i love to watch the scenery where you can take pictures of the landscape as well as the people who are working.

I always sleep while traveling.If you are long trips or traffic,you tend to sleep in the car.If you are short trip, you will not sleep.But sometimes, I don't like to sleep because something might happen or a man/woman will put his/her head on my shoulder.

Hi asliah! It was really quite annoying to encounter such passenger. Actually, I also have the tendency to fall asleep when I wasn't able to get a good one during the night or totally tired. Good thing, I can always find my corner where i don't have to irritate other passengers, hehe. Well, it is not habitual in my case, but it happens. :)

Honestly, many man or male will feel very excited when a young pretty lady sit at their side accidentally veered on their shoulder. For me, I don't feel annoy if someone fall asleep and veer on my shoulder during my travelling on bus. If I am not comfortable with him or her, I shall just wake him or her up to remind him or her about his or her problem.

Last Friday, I accompany my daughter in her educational field trip and the bus leaves at 4:30am. I was so sleepy because i sleep late the other night preparing for the things that we have to bring. Yes, I slept on the bus and I think besides resting, it eases the boredom of long journey...

i hate when there's a person sleeping beside me. If I am in the windows side, I have to wake up that person for asking to pass. If they sleeping person is in the window's side, it only angers me if he veers on my shoulder.

Hello, i was been experienced that last time when i'm went to other town for visit.my seatmate on the bus got slept on and and a while a go, she veer on my shoulder. i get so irrated that time cause shes so heavy. i try moving my body get her attention but i thought she's on deep napping. sleeping while on travel is not bad, but when your disturbing others is a big embarrassment for yourself.
