Many Japanese people sleep sitting up on the train. Some even sleep standing up, which may be hard to believe.

One of my English teachers from the U.S. has said that he hadn’t imagined (can be "couldnt imagine") it before he came to Japan until he saw the people every morning in Tokyo.
I’ve never seen people asleep on the train outside of Japan.

I wonder what you think when you see people sleeping on the train. I’ve read that a foreigner called it the “Japanese siesta”.

When I got on the underground train in New York, I tried to sleep out of habit, and then I remembered that I wasn’t in Japan and opened my eyes quickly.

Do you sleep on the train in your country?


some minor changes, mostly in composition, but it was all pretty much correct, and was just a matter of making it flow a bit better,.... since i had time to kill

i've seen people sleep on the train in many countries, but none as comfortably or as deeply as they do here.
