Last Monday I went to Brooklyn and I had the opportunity to see a man sleeping while standing.... he was very drunk when this was happening and he just so happened to stand a few feet in front of me and my camera phone. I couldn't help but click away.
At one point a lot of people started entering the train and they were basically interrupting his sleep,,,, he woke up for a minute and decided to stand really close to ME (of all people)... I was a bit frightened that he would throw up or fall asleep on me.... and I even wondered if he noticed me taking pics of him ....
But the good news is,,,,, he did neither ....
I must say that I applaud this man because he did not fall once as he rode in "sleep/stand" mode for approximately 8 train stops.
And if you want to learn how to sleep while standing... here's how...
Step 1 = Stand near a closed train door
Step 2 = Make sure your feet are firmly planted on the ground
Step 3 = Let go of any feelings that you may have and let the train rock you to sleep
Thanks for the the tips! I'll try it next time I'm on the subway :-D
