A very comfortable way to sleep on train for short people

Post type: Picture Book, Instruction Manual

Hey SHORTIES! (Anyone height <=155cm) Aren't you ever so envious of giant guys whose heads can lean back above the top of a train/car seat?

Can't move your chair back either because you are too self-conscious and afraid of taking up the space of the person behind you?

Welllllll...... Here's a solution for you that I discovered works miraculously well for me (height=148cm)

For short people like us, who have extremely short upper bodies, there are amazing things that we can do and those telephone poles cannot:

By the Pythagorean Theorem, the diagonal length from our head to our butt is shorter than the sum of the squares of the bottom length of the seat and a chosen top spot against the back of the seat.

HENCE! If you are travelling with a backpack that fits perfectly into the void between your back and the corner of the seat, you will comfortably make yourself a very nice little "beach chair" to lean against.

VOILA! My new discovery today from my Via train trip Toronto-Kingston. Hope this benefits other shorties like me in the future!
