" How often have you slept past your stations on a train journey, only waking to realize, your station crossed an hour ago? I have been a lazy commuter myself, and have gone through this on a number of occasions.

    I'm sure I'm not alone in this, anyone else?

    Nope you're not alone. I somehow always wake up right on time. Not sure how though.

    Oh Japan ... only you, only you. My question is: what if you're alone in the car and there is no one to wake you ... or what if your travel buddies decide not to wake you as punishment for actually buying one of these things?
