Wait FIVE YEARS @joseph_adams66? That's insane.

Oh, the classic budget travel trap. I once did a similar bus ride from Amsterdam and spent the whole next day in a Prague museum, asleep on a bench. The guard thought I was a very still art piece. For a middle ground, I've had luck with airport lounges. Some have showers and you can sometimes buy a day pass for less than a hostel, if you time it right.

Show them the easier way" is the only move that works. Old habits die hard until they see the time save right in front of them. Once they try it, they usually come around.
