Yes. Last year I was on a bus to Chicago that left around 1AM and arrived around 9AM. My bus back left around 9:30PM (same day) and arrived back in Minneapolis at 6AM.

I just bought tickets now for basically the same trip.

Yes. On the train when I was in Europe back in 2007.

I'm assuming that "9 PM" is supposed to be A.M., or were you just in Chicago for a half hour? If it's the latter, what for?

That confused me as well. Plus, doesn't BRTD live in Minneapollis? Is a bus trip to Chicago that long?

Yeah it's a typo. It's obviously not 20 hours to Chicago.

Ha, I thought this meant involuntarily when I first read it, like passing out drunk on the subway or commuter rail.  But, yeah of course, red eyes, amtrak, sh**tty buses etc.

My first sleep on the move would have been in a baby buggy, but I have no memory of that.

We lived far from relatives when I was a child and almost always drove for visits. My brother and I would stretch out in the back of our station wagon to sleep when it was late. Learning that skill proved valuable as a teen in a drum and bugle corps that took buses to our distant engagements, often overnight. For my honeymoon we flew to Europe and traveled by train, including a couple of legs in sleeper cars.

I still can and do sleep in cars, buses, trains, planes, and I've slept in ferries as well.

On planes, boats and one time on a bus across Europe.

But I haven't done any major traveling for several years now with the exception of visiting New York once and moving between the Front Range and Florida. That and a few day trips into the mountains or to South Beach.

Full-on sleep? No.

Nap? Dozens of times.

I've napped on a couple of red-eye flights, but it's not anywhere close to a night's sleep. If I had a first class seat that reclined into a bed, I'm sure I wouldn't have any problems sleeping through an entire flight.

Most transatlantic flights from North America to Europe are overnight. Sometimes, I'm able to sleep astonishingly well.

My best record was dozing off while still on the ground in Montreal and only properly waking up when being offered a pre-landing snack about 90 minutes before getting to London.

Yes, while Interrailing trough Europe in 2005 and while flying to the US in 2011.

I spent the night on a nasty ass couch in Midway airport once.  I've marched and slept a few times while in USAF Tech School.  But never overnight on a mode of transportation...at least that I remember.

I've tried to sleep on the bus to my camp (2:30AM to 12:30PM, though I couldn't because I need the road to be stable or me doing an all-nighter. Though back in 2008 on my trip to Wisconsin I slept in my dad's car.

Yes.  Quite a few times.  I hate it every time.  Unless I drug myself with a lot of unisom.  I can't sleep sitting up.  I'm not a very deep sleeper I guess despite my never ending extremely vivid semi-lucid dreams that literally exhaust me.  How does one make that stop?

A couple of times on trains, since any Amtrak leaving Kansas departs in the middle of the night. And a couple of times on international flights. I popped a Vicodin on a flight to Sydney and slept for 12 hours.

Yes.

I also spent a night once in a university library because public transit stopped running at 11 PM that night and I was still studying, which was probably my most "keeping it real" moment.
