I just don’t understand the sleeping powers of the aged, especially in cramped quarters on buses and airplanes where space is limited and comfort ever evasive.
That whole head-hunched-over-hovering-somewhere-between-belly-button-and-shoulders position is astonishing.
The mere fact that their abdominals buck up to hold them in that position and that they don’t inadvertently block their airway defies logic on numerous levels.
To the old people out there seeking sleep by whatever means necessary: I salute you!
