This summer I took my first sleeper train, and it opened my eyes. Instead of treating the journey as wasted time, something to optimize away, it makes a lot of sense to me to make the most of it. The need for rushing dissappears and the experience becomes much more enjoyable. Not long after my sleeper train holiday I had to travel from Schiphol Airport for work, where I was expected to be 4 hours before take off. Those 4 hours could have been spent working in a train in a quiet zone, or looking at the scenery pass by. Next time I will try to take a train instead of an airplane.
