not concerned about safety, napping on a train?

pro-tip: loop your legs and arms through the handles or straps of the bags you're traveling with to prevent people from stealing them while you sleep

e.g. put your backpack on your lap against your chest and cross your arms through the straps, stick your leg through the loop of a duffel bag handle, etc

not at all. Sometimes the slow local services fill up with lowlife, but these city commuter trains are fine where I live.

What could be dangerous with sleeping on a train? I always sleep on trains and buses, I even change when I go to sleep, so I'm tired when on the train, so I can fall asleep.

M5x7wI3CmbEem10, I first thought you were worried about sleeping too long, getting off at the wrong station

I suppose it's getting robbed? And that you live in a quite different part of the world than me :-/

> I suppose it's getting robbed?

America.

(the US or middle/southern America? I've gotten the impression that Canada is pretty safe though)

Ok, I'm in western/northern Europe.
