How to Sleep on the subway in Five Easy Steps.

First, it helps if you can get an end seat because then you can lean against the glass partition.

Second, because your elbows don’t naturally reach down to your lap, you will want to make sure that you have a pack of some sort. Putting your book bag or shopping bag on your lap will give you a place to rest your arms.

Third, turn your toes slightly inward into a pigeon-toed position. This will help keep your knees together while you doze.

Next, close your eyes and let your led lilt forward slightly. It helps it you simply let your head bob and sway to the rhythm of the train’s movements.

Finally, if you let your hair grow long, you can let it hang down in front of your face. This not only blocks out some of the light, but it affords you a bit of privacy.

Happy snoozing.
