Sometimes, when i travel, i do travel through and with public transport system, since im not used to driving a long distance, what amazes me is the way people sleep during the journey. You see very handsome guys and very pretty babes all swaggling their heads inside the vehicles, some, even to the extent of snoring.....chai!sleeping in a commercial vehicle is what i have never done, so, it amazes me how and why people sleep in commercial vehicles that is always filled with people that are almost not known to us.
Its another thing, if its a private vehicle, at least few people and known people are the ones the person is going to be together with, but in a public car/buses, nay, i dont subscribe to it at all, but i know those who do it must have their reasons for it, so, lets share, this is weekend, lets relieve our tension and laugh/learn.
Also, the positive and negative effects of sleeping in public vehicles can also be discussed, which may serve as a kind of lesson to others.
Thanks and may God help us all.

Yes I do sleep in public vehicles but it depends on the distance of the journey. For instance, if I'm going to Phc or Warri, there won't be need for sleep, but if I'm going to Abj or Lag? I'd definitely sleep at some point. I do not snore tho.

No, not even in an aircraft.

I didn't know if i slept or not, all i know is that i was woken up by the woman next to me just to inform me that we are now in Berger bus stop.

You know what, i was discussing this issue with someone, and he said and i quote....."i use to sleep in public vehicles before, but i can never do it again, because, through sleeping, i have for once lost my bag and i have also missed dropping at the busstop i was supposed to stop, it cost me a lot of money and stress before i got back to my presupposed busstop"
on hearing this, i laugh so teeeh, i almost fell off a chair, but jokes apart, this is one of the adverse effects of sleeping while travelling with/through public transport system.

Lmao! She must be a deep sleeper, .

Yes o..and its nothing to be ashamed of especially when i'm travelling on roads i have travelled countless times.Its just boring watching trees go by.Infact,that's why i like sitting by the window so i can rest my side or head when sleep beckons,with dark shades on and my ears plugged with a earpiece too.

Freiburger: No, not even in an aircraft.

you must be a good observer then.
I have observed that when i travel, i observe everything i see along the journey, i even ask questions from those who sit beside me, i always want to know about every junction, every tree i see.......funny?, yes, i know but its kind of relieveing ones tension.

lol@ your black shade and your earpiece............so that other passengers will not know that you are no longer in this same place with them, they wont be able to know that you are already far away..........i love your style.

It's understandable if it's a long distance journey of over 8hrs.
But if it's between a short distance of one state to another which is between 1-2hrs i.e: Plateau to Kaduna State, it's not good.
However, if you wanna sleep, carry dark shaded glasses for your face if you are the shy type & place your head where you ll not likely rest it on the shoulder of the passenger(s) beside you.

Last Bullet: Some people can't even hold their sleep for 30minutes when they are in a commercial vehicle. Imagine a short journey in a BRT from Ketu Mile 12 to Ojota in Lagos which is not up to 15minutes if the road is traffic free. You ll see people dozing off like fowls wey get bird flu.
The most annoying are those that ll rest their heads on your shoulder, snore & even drop a litre of stinking saliva on your cloth. Damm it's just so irritating.

If its in a taxi or something, no I don't because where I'm going with a cab isn't that much of a distance, a public bus like a train? Same thing.. but if its a flight, oh mehn I even have to take sleeping pills cos I do hate altitudes. So, I sleep

Though I see people sleep in the train( which could be termed public too). Well, you can never cheat nature whenever it comes. Sometimes, these people sleep as a result of hard job they do and that's part of the way they have to overcome stress, most of them hardly sleep at night so you don't be surprised if you see people sleeping over a short distance

I sleep when in a bus,there was a time,I slept off,that I was taken like 10 bus stop ahead my destination. That didn't deter me from sleeping in a bus again.

Infact I like resting my head on a girl's shoulder in the bus.

It sure does help to relieve stress, innit?

For sleeping during short journeys, u don't know what the person has been tru that day! Mutum ba jaki ba! ( Person no be horse)....fatigue is not a respecter of person oº°˚!

lol at stinking saliva.....

So, u mean some people can sleep off in a journey of less than 15 minutes?, if yes, then, e get as e be o...........

tchidi: For sleeping during short journeys, u don't know what the person has been tru that day! Mutum ba jaki ba! ( Person no be horse)....fatigue is not a respecter of person oº°˚!

yeah! Thats true, but not in less than 15 minutes journey that is even within the same town......

I simply dnt do it

Don't worry, you ll soon learn another lesson. Next time it ll be from one state to the other, & not missing your bus stop.

Yomieluv: Infact I like resting my head on a girl's shoulder in the bus.

If I m a lady & you rest your head on my shoulder in a bus, I ll gladly give you a thunderous knock on your head...I mean it!

greatgod2012:

As in, some people ll forget themselves in the sleep till they start dropping saliva.
t's so irritating.

Yes. Some people doze off few minutes when they enter a vehicle. It may be due to fatigue as tchidi wrote earlier. Nobody can control sleep when you are stressed out.
But those that are fond of dozing off like fowl ll just not cease to amaze me. Moreso, one have to be security conscious. You can't afford to sleep in a 'One Chance' bound bus. You ll just wake up at the kidnappers ritual shrine.

Last Bullet: There's a tragic story of a lady who slept off while travelling from Ibadan to Lagos...But that's to be shared another time.

This thread is becoming interesting.
