Started taking the earlier bus to avoid crowds, ended up with a totally different problem

I switched to the 6:15 bus three weeks ago trying to beat the rush. Turns out that bus is full of people who doze off on the shoulder of the person next to them. I've been the designated pillow for a guy in a blue suit twice this week. Got any tips for staying awake on public transport without looking like a jerk?

Wait, are you seriously suggesting he should just lean into being a stranger's pillow? I mean, there's a difference between catching a quick nap and having some dude you don't know drool on your shoulder twice a week. Personal space still exists on public transit, even at 6:15 AM.

Why not just lean back and enjoy the free nap, isn't that the whole point of public transport?
