PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ok,so this Friday which is tomorrow Im going on a bus ride with my parents.Im gonna be on the bus for 24 hours or a bit more if theres any delays.This is not the first time and Its so boring. I tried bringing a book(I love reading) but everytime I look down to read it I start feeling sick even though I took the travel sickness tablet. I always bring my phone and earphones with music but the battery doesnt last forever so i cant listen to it for very long. I always have my diary on me but I obviously can't write one entry for 5 pages or so LOL, Other notebooks just get boring. I literally tried everything,from that list and even more. Also another problem is that I can never sleep on the bus. I am going at 1:00pm and I get off the next day at the same time,almost. So that means Im gonna have to spend the whole night on the bus. I always have a pillow and a blanket with me but the thing is its ust so uncomfortable I cannot sleep. The thing is that I have to be awake the next day. If you guys could be so kind and answered my questions then that would be great. What to do on long bus rides? How to sleep on long bus rides?

Take some nighttime cold medicine and go night night.

Look outside

make small talk with strangers

get bad diarrhea and be stuck in the BR

Bring non electronic games like cards

bring a piece of wood then paint it and watch it dry. add more coats for more fun!

Bring a encyclopedia to read

check the pockets and corners of the seats and see what you can find

Learn a new craft

Tell people that you have a contagious disease that cant be cured then fake a sneeze on them

Start a sing along and get everyone to join in

Its funny when we have lots of options to stay relaxed but we can't maybe because we tired to do nothing but to sit all day long. And I suggest that you avoid reading while on a travel the reason is we just feel irretated because we cannot focus on what we read on and boredom may attack any second.

Best thing to do is to listen in music but since you just said that your battery doesn't last I suggest that once you play music make sure that it is relaxing like Leaving on a Jet Plane it is so popular but cool, you have one more option if your battery is out of charged try to closed your eyes and play music with your minds and you never know that you may fall asleep :) it is effective I always do it while I'm on long travels.

It is possible to get phone chargers that are powered by batteries. You could also do a "find-the-thing" type of game, where you make a list of things you might see while on the ride and cross them out when you see one.

You should just try to find some people you don't know and talk to them and get to know them better then you ever have. This would pass time as they may be interesting and you could learn from them and teach them things.

Be sure you are tired no sleep for a while, then taken a long nap is great
