Importance Of Sleeping In Public Transit

While trying to sleep on the public transit, you can hear many conversations of other passengers that surround you. Society should regulate sleeping on public transit more so that sleeping in public is perceived as acceptable. When you are tired, you should allow yourself to rest your mind, thoughts, and body. This inhibits social interaction when people sleep while taking public transit although it is not always comfortable sleeping in public.
