No matter how long a commute you have it gives you the chance to get yourself going before arriving at your work place and then lets you un-wind before getting home at the end of the day. Whether you have a 5 minute walk or 90 minute journey the gap can make all the differnece. All the examples above are great and I agree that a lot of people will probably prefer to just keep quiet and sleep or listen to music and read.

On a commute of about 50 minutes on a good day, an hour plus on traffic-filled day (in chicago traffic is more common than good), I put my head against the window of the bus and zonk out. Often I dream. About work, something I read, someone I'm thinking about, or just letting my mind wander. I do it in the morning to clear my head for work, and at night, to clear my head for home. Having a big gap of time between work and home has helped me keep those two combative zones seperate. I don't let them intermingle, with neither shoes and clothes at the office or files and projects at home. The divide is important, but the sleep is awfully good. I sleep. Thats what I do.
