I'll certainly be using the vivid description of sleep
deprivation with my next Oneiromancer character.

It's true about buses and I suspect the same thing is
true about trains, although trains often have cribbage
and White Castle hamburgers, which might make them
worse (and more expensive.)

I've taken one train trip and too many long greyhound
jaunts (mostly from Portland, Ore. to San Francisco.) 
I usually end up getting into an argument, though,
because I don't smoke.
