When travelling
I have a habit that tends to irritate anyone who is with me. If I'm on any sort of long trip (anything longer than 45 minutes, say), I have a tendency to fall asleep almost immediately upon boarding the bus/plane/train/family care once I've down whatever needs to be down, like showing a ticket. Then, I sleep until about 5-10 minutes before I get there, when I'll just spontaneously wake up.

I think the best example was a school trip. Slept on the two and a half hour bus ride from my school to Newark airport for the entire ride. Friend sat next to me on the plane so we could talk. I tried, but within about 10 minutes of boarding, I fell asleep almost as soon as we took off, and didn't wake up until we were circling Las Vegas, a few hours later. Got off the plane, ate lunch in the airport, and about 30 minutes after leaving the plane, we hopped on the 4.5-5 hoursish bus ride from Vegas to our hotel in Arizona. Slept almost the entire ride, with the exceptions of bathroom breaks and witty 14 year-old banter whilst waiting for the cubicle in the back of the bus to become vacant. So, after having slept for 7-8 hours the night before, I slept all day while the rest of my class was bored as hell waiting for us to get to the Grand Canyon. Did the same thing coming back too.

I still do this regularly, although I think karma has caught up with me, as I began developing/showing signs of insomnia a year or two after that Grand Canyon trip.

I envy
you for being able to time travel using the power of sleep but on long hauls, falling asleep is real bad for DVT.
