I take public transportation, so it's about an hour each way, but since I just listen to tunes and read, I'm cool with it.  Driving, it's about fifteen minutes, or an hour during peak hours.

I work from home so I don't commute at all, however when I used to have jobs outside of the house it was never more than 30 minutes.

My ride to work takes about 45 minutes in total.  It's 30 minutes from my house to the gym at 4:50am each day, when I leave the gym at about 6:45am I usually arrive at work by 7:00am

Living in between (and just north of) Dallas AND Fort Worth, it takes me about 45 minutes to an hour each way.  Then again, all the new construction by the airport is KILLING ME!  That always stretches the time out a bit.  But as some of the rest of you, it does give me PLENTY of time to kill my eardrums with music!   :metal

10-15 minutes going to work, 5-10 minutes coming home from work.  Short commutes FTW.

I used to commute 80 minutes to work, and I had to leave at 4 am so I could get to work and change clothes and be on the floor at 6.  First time I nodded off at the wheel I found an apartment 10 minutes from work.

Did it result in a crash or did you wake up still going?

That's happened to me once. I was driving home from some place an hour away way late at night and nodded off about half way there. I'm not sure how long my eyes were closed (probably one a few seconds but it felt like much longer) but when I woke up I was in the other lane. It scared the shit out of me :lol

Thankfully I woke up and kept going.  I would just kind of come to and not remember driving certain stretches.

40 minutes, but 20 of those is sitting on my ass on a train so it's not a big deal.
