In this situation, the reason for Chazal’s ruling does not apply since there should be no reason to be concerned that he will fall asleep.</ref> This can apply to other situations in which one would not be able to do so the rest of the day.<ref>Piskei Teshuvot 30:1.

However, as we tend to travel by vehicle, there is still a concern that one may fall asleep when sitting while wearing Tefillin.
