How to Sleep Comfortably on a School Bus
Sitting on a school bus can be quite uncomfortable especially for long durations. The fact that school buses are not really designed for long distance travel is obvious if you have ever sat for a couple of hours in one. The lack of comfort and luxuries on a school bus make it extremely difficult to sleep. However, if you follow some basic guidelines, hopefully you will be able to get some sleep and arrive at your destination comfortably. It is important to remember that most of the other people on the school bus with you are probably just as tired as you are and are probably looking to get some sleep as well.

1
Listen to music:
Be sure to pack your personal music player and have it fully charged before getting on the school bus. You will find some peace by listening to your favourite tunes and blocking out all of the extra noise from the bus and everyone else sitting on it. Put your headphones on and let the music soothe and relax you as you slowly fall asleep. -
2
Grab a window seat:
When you first get on the bus, try to grab a window seat. This seat allows you to put your head against the side and hopefully get some sleep. -
3
Use your bag as a pillow:
If you have a soft backpack or book bag, dust it off and put against the side of the bus like a pillow. This will relieve your neck muscles and hopefully you will find it comfortable enough to sleep. -
4
Close your eyes:
Sometimes the simple ways are the best as you close your eyes and drift off to sleep. Closing your eyes lets your mind and eyes relax to help you get some rest. -
5
Read something:
Reading something like a newspaper, magazine or book will definitely make you feel really drowsy and sleepy. The more boring the material, the quicker you will fall asleep. -
6
Play with your phone:
Most people now have smart-phones which have plenty of interesting applications and games on it. Take out your phone and play your favourite game or tinker around with some applications. This will help you feel a little drowsy and you will fall asleep after a while. Be sure to put your phone somewhere safe as you do not want to drop it when you fall asleep. -
7
Sit quietly:
Try to sit quietly and do not have too many conversations with other people on the school bus. By sitting quietly, nobody will disturb you and hopefully you can get some rest.
