Sleeping on Trains
A common sight on Japanese commuter trains is the passenger that sleeps or snoozes.
Many commuters can be seen with their heads bowed, eyes closed and gently rocking to the rhythm of the train - I am getting sleepy just writing this.
The trains are smooth, quiet and peaceful compared to western trains. The seats are very soft, comfortable AND heated in winter. Combine all these factors together and it's almost impossible to stay awake.
In the photo above, 3 commuters are sleeping and one is faking it - which one?
