Car sleeping is this weird?

So I got 8 hours of sleep last night I can normally run perfectly fine on 6. Often the more sleep I get the more tired I am but anyways. Every time I get an Uber or bus I fall asleep on it I have tried playing high energy music and play interesting games on my phone so my brain stays awake but I soon realised I fell asleep/about to when my head bobs down. I’m 19 and get a decent amount of sleep

Obviously something about a Uber or bus ride relaxes ur body enough to be able to put you in a sleep stage.

People take there babies for rides in the car when the babies cant stop crying and etc and something about the ride knocks them out,so...if its helpful and ur safe..who's to say its weird.

It’s really weird cause I get major anxiety when in a car but some times I’m just not anxious or anything x

So..u may just have to see what happens each ride.Could the scenery ur travelling in be what hits triggers of anxiety n etc n calm surroundings trigger comfort n sleep stage?

Could be the sounds of the engines that calm you to sleep.

I know people who have fallen asleep on trains several times and have missed there stop.

Have you tried setting repeating timers/alarms on your phone so that the phone vibrates as well as chimes.
