Waaaaah! It's 4:20am, I can't sleep, and I have a flight in just a few hours.

If it is a long flight sleep onboard! (not that you will be rested, but at least you won't remember being in a crampt space with crying babies)

I have heard rumors of this "sleeping on board a plane" myth, but I think it went away with unicorns. No one could really sleep in that tiny awkward space! And you can't convince me otherwise.

Same as a greyhound bus, I do that easily enough. It's not restful, but it does give you something to do so your 10 hour bus ride doesn't feel like a 10 hour bus ride.

MEGABUS! Wi-fi means you can Lusternia on the bus, woo.

Sleeping on a plane is a cakewalk compared to sleeping on a Greyhound. Never again.

I used to know a French guy who could fall asleep within like 10 seconds of buckling into a car bound for a 6 hour trip to Wales, regardless of how much sleep he'd had the night before. Meanwhile, even when I'm exhausted it takes me like an hour every night of just lying there pointlessly.

I know how that guy feels, cars just = sleep to me.

Remind me never to let you drive.

I only have my G1, so I don`t drive all that often if I can help it.

For some reason falling asleep in the car is a lot harder for me than falling asleep on a plane/bus. On road trips I'm usually designated as navigator/keep the driver awake. :\\

I prefer a cargo plane over a passenger airliner cause I can deploy a hammock in a cargo plane. However on civilian planes I sleep just as well if there is enough legroom (american airlines, british airways, SN Brussels all have decent legroom if you pick the right seats.).

it is a military principle of 'sleep when you can, for it might be the last time in days', you can actually train yourself to do this.

I need to do this. It's not always convenient to be the passenger in a car, so being able to expand it would be nice.

Headache forcing me to careen headlong into lamesville in pretty much everything. I'm going to go back to bed before I try to write anything else.

The opening ceremony for my (non-religiously-affiliated) college includes a hymn called "God of All People". What the , I'd expected better.

I don't get worked up about that kind of thing. If someone actively tries to force their beliefs on you, that's one thing, but a hymn doesn't seem too unreasonable.
In unrelated news, I always fall asleep in cars if I'm not driving. It's just...really soothing. You're moving, the soft rumble of the car on the road, the purr of the engine...it's like a sleep-machine.

Car rides are terrifying for me now. I've been the passenger in a few too many, uh, untimely concussive driving experiences.

I'm kind of reeling from speaking with an ex for the first time last night. Surreal at best, upsetting at worst, and now I feel profoundly unmotivated. I'm never going to finish my artisanal at this rate.

That was a mistake. I cut all contact with my cheating ex, and am happier for it (mostly).
