Between a hectic day when I have to be on my feet all day and a day spent just sitting in the car or on the train and looking out the window, the latter feels 10x more exhausting.
Why is this? If you’re not the driver, you barely have to do anything on those long trips, and yet they’re still so tiring for no reason.

Road trips are tiring even as a passenger because I’m still “alert” as if I were driving, assessing hazards etc.
I find train trips are more relaxing, although there is stress/anxiety if you have to change trains and connections are tight etc. Also if it’s a stopping-train in an unfamiliar area, then I’m alert to other people, and whether they’re going to be unruly or any kind of threat.
