Falling Asleep During Long Trips

I fall asleep all time. Especially when I'm listoning to my Headphones. The only I don't fall asleep is on the way back from the Bookstore/Gamestore and I read the instruction manual or newest Manga. Of course now I have to drive.

I can fall asleep on a 5 minute car ride. No joke.

Usually. But that mostly has to do with me not getting any sleep the night before a long trip. Not because of anticipation, but because of paranoia that I will miss or forget something.

Well, I'm usually driving, so no, I don't fall asleep. :p If I'm with a friend and s/he takes over, and I'm sufficiently tired, I will take a short nap.

I take every oppertunity I can to pass out.

on a plane...about 95% of the time, especially when that "once a month" thing gets in the middle. there isn't better timing to take a nice long nap.

roadtrip...i drive now, but i still leave the long driving to my dad. i wouldn't say that i sleep too much, but just enough. otherwise, i could stay up and listen to car music.

I always fall asleep when I start driving and when I woke up, I am at the destination! :bigsmile:

I don't fall asleep on road trips despite getting pretty tired. I just don't like not seeing where I'm being taken.

I feel asleep on a bus ride to the capitol city once. The dreams were mediocre, and my whole body felt horrible when I woke up. Worse still, while I was sleeping, I thought some sneaky fingures took away my backpack. I kept looking around and watching people when they leaving, but it didn’t seem like anyone had it. Then, as I was getting off, some guy gave it to me; the backpack had been beside my feet the whole time. I’m such a numskull.

Other than that, I occasionally sleep on long trips. I try to avoid it though, because it always gives me this gruesome feeling when I wake up.

I hate sitting in the same spot for more than three hours, so I try to fall asleep on long journeys. It doesn't feel too great when I wake up, but at least I'm not bored and uncomfortable for hours and hours.

I only fall asleep on a car journey if it's really early in the morning/late at night or I'm not having a conversation with anybody. :jess:

Yep its called temazepam

:kaoyatta:

yes, because I hope to wake up and be at the destination... though I do play my DS some, but I can get a headache if you combine motion with darkness.

THE JACKEL

I have to fall asleep or else I feel nausea. :(

I'm not good on trains, boats/ships either.

I live in Bermuda, which is only 21 miles long. A 'long trip' for me is 40 minutes, and that's going from one end of the country to the other.

However, on my 12 hour flight to and from Japan I could *not* go to sleep. I don't understand why. I tried to fall asleep, listened to some music, closed my eyes, but it just wouldn't happen. It wasn't a big deal, I adjusted, but I kinda wanted to sleep.
