Car, plane, horse etc?

I can't. Envious of those who can. Like teleporting. I hate when I can barely keep my eyes open but can't fall asleep in a moving vehicle. Planes are the worst.

Cars, yes, but, sadly only when I'm driving.
Planes, no problem.

Yes, if I'm very tired and have a neck pillow.

This.

I've found neck pillows do not feel comfortable at all for me.

Plane - Yes
Train - Yes

I can sleep some in a plane or car, but it is typically short naps. I rarely konk out and sleep for long.
How the hell does is one of those damn neck pillows help anyone sleep? For me, it typically pushes my head forward, into the most uncomfortable position imaginable. I usually put the damn thing on backwards, with the opening of the horseshoe at the back of my neck, so that my. Hin is on it and it helps propmy head up.

Car- within 5 minutes of being on the interstate and that includes driving. I am a head bobber and have to fight hard to stay awake. If others are with me I'm fine. My car can almost drive itself so I'm pretty confident it doesn't need me (no I don't actually fall asleep driving)

Train- within 5 minutes. Woke up next to a bum first time on the L in Chicago. Almost missed my stop. Did the same after a cubs/ Sox game and there was a verbal altercation next to me.

Plane- sort of. I don't like flying but I still try to sleep.

Absolutely. I am usually asleep before takeoff whenever I fly. I love sleeping on trains and buses. When I was a kid, I loved sleeping in the car.

Do you use any pillows or blankets?

Are you a deep sleeper?

I envy you. We're flying to Hawaii in a couple of weeks. Ten plus hours on the plane and a seven-hour time change. A good nap would be helpful but not at all expected.

Nope. but I wish I could. I've been on flights to Australia and to India, and was awake the entire ~15 hours each time.

I fell asleep in a C130 on the ride to a jump zone. It’s a skill and I am an AA.

Can you poop anywhere too? I avoid public restrooms as much as possible. Like privacy of my own home. You build a real comfort with your home toilet. We have 3 in which I use 2 on the regular.

I only can't if it's my car and someone else is driving.

Same here, I can be dead tired, falling asleep behind the wheel, I'll pull over and let my wife or adult kids drive and all of the sudden I'm wide awake and can't sleep for shït.

Drives me crazy
