*Within minutes of boarding the commuter train Mark was fast asleep. Marks sleep slut powers were legendary in that he was always able to wake before his stop. *:hehe: i know some people around here who wake up just before they have to no matter how sleepy they are. ]
SO, who here is a sleep slut?
Oh, I'm totally a sleep slut. On good nights, I get in about 12 hours, which I'm beginning to think is possibly borderline unhealthy. On bad nights, all I can mutter about under my breath is why I'm not in bed snoozing away.
I don't take public transportation much to work, as I walk. But when I was in college, I would fall asleep all the time, and usually wake up before my stop. There were a few times where I was one stop too late, and had to jump onto trains going back the opposite way to get to my stop. I don't know why I was able to jerk up, look around, and know my stop was there. Truthfully, I don't think you get much deep sleep that way, maybe a light snooze and subconsciously you time yourself to wake up at the right moment.
Waking up just before your stop is no big deal. After a few trips on the same route your body adjusts. And then only once in a blue moon would you not wake up. Luckily if your stop happens to be the last on one a route then the bus driver or someone else is always there to wake you up.
