The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.
The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China’s north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

I feel pretty rested throughout the day (as long as I get my siesta), so I don’t think I’m missing out on deep sleep. I just, without fail, wake up every 2-3 hours because I’m gonna pop. It’s clockwork. Then, after I wake up the second time, I can never get back to sleep. Hence, the siesta.
I do stay well hydrated too - I sleep through the night once in a while because some days when not working I don’t chug water. I’m factory labor though so I’m usually going throughmore than 0.5-1.0 gallons a day. That wasn’t an issue before the spiro though!
