Ear buds on ocean noises and I’m off to sleepy bye land. BTW: less cash than getting a hotel.

Frankly, too difficult for me because I’m a stomach/side sleeper. I’ll have knotted muscles and a tension headache by morning.

Maybe things have changed, but I find that long-distance buses in Japan are often insufferably warm. I once cracked the window just a few centimeters in order to get some fresh air during a bus to Haneda from Narita during a sunny autumn afternoon, and within minutes I had the person behind me politely complaining that it was too cold and could I please shut the window and let the temperature climb back to 25°C or so?

That’s nothing, Megabus used to run overnight double-decker buses between London and Edinburgh (or Glasgow), with fully-horizontal beds.
The top deck had single bunk beds, and bottom deck had side-by-side cots with hammocks above. Some pictures and an account (not mine) here - https://sohflo.wordpress.com/tag/megabus-gold/

I’ve taken the Tokyo/Osaka Midnight Bus before. A couple of things:
- Its 20% of the cost of the Bullet Train
- They are air conditioned
- They usually make one rest stop early on
- No booze allowed!
- They get you there at about 6:00-7:00 AM and way too early to do most things, including checking into hotels.
