Ugh.. I feel for you dparm! Lots of people I work with travel constantly. I've positioned myself to stay away from those "career opportunities" over the years, because I don't like traveling w/out my family. I cant sleep in any moving vehicle unless I'm ready to pass out from exhaustion, I'm sick, etc..
I couldn't tell you the last time I had any type of quality, normal sleep. I do regular rotating 12hr shifts and have so for 16yrs. On day shifts (5a-5p) I get up at 0315. That and the combination of four kids, 21months to 11yrs, lessens my chances. I wake up hourly, or less sometimes.
They require us to take sleep management training too.
