A pillow:

When travelling for a long distance, you may need to sleep especially if you will be in transit for more than 16 hours. In as much as long distance trains have seats designed for comfort, you may end up straining your neck if you lean your head on the seat without the support of a pillow. In addition, the train seats may not be soft enough so you will not be comfortable as you travel. This are some of the reasons that make it important to bring a pillow along as you travel. Every time you need to sleep, you will use it to support your head and avoid any neck sprains.
