The Sun has set, and you're headed to a train station in Stockholm with your overnight bag. You board the sleeper train, change into your comfortable clothes, enjoy the scenery through the window for a while before laying your head down to rest. Snoring from the other passengers in your shared cabin delays your bedtime, but the gentle motion and white noise eventually send you to sleep. The next morning, just over 12 hours later, you wake up in Germany's second largest city, Hamburg. "It still sounds like a long time, but you go to sleep, and it's such a nice atmosphere on the train," says Julia Senninger, a fan of sleeper trains. 太阳已经落山，您带着过夜行李前往斯德哥尔摩的火车站。 登上卧铺列车，换上舒适的衣服，欣赏一下窗外的风景，然后就低头休息。 共用客舱内其他乘客的鼾声会延迟您的就寝时间，但轻柔的动作和白噪音最终会让您入睡。 第二天早上，12 个多小时后，您在德国第二大城市汉堡醒来。 “听起来还是很长一段时间，但你很快就睡着了，火车上的气氛真好，”卧铺火车的粉丝朱莉娅·森宁格 (Julia Senninger) 说道。
