@rrhoover you've got to factor in as well that the flights can get pretty expensive (~$250); and you also waste a load of time during checking in, stuck on the runway waiting for it to take off etc.
Take the SleepBus to LA
The SleepBus Departs San Francisco at the 24th Street BART Station at 11p everynight. You'll arrive in LA at 7a for the sunrise and can keep sleeping until noon.
Each sleeper cab has fresh sheets, free coffee, and WiFi.
$65 - One Way (24 Bunk Bus)
$140 - One Way (12 Bunk Bus)

great idea

I would LOVE this, but I worry about the legality/safety of having passengers both not wearing seat belts and lying flat. I'd guess that's the reason bunk/sleeper style travel has been limited to trains in the past.

@kevinflo Megabus has been doing this in the UK for awhile. It's called Megabus Gold. Albeit this is much more fancier.

Are the pods shared?

Brilliant. I do the trip all the time. BART to airport to Fucking TSA, to delayed flights, to cattle-car-sardine packing. I welcome this. I can imagine some good conversations with the other riders too. What about in the other direction?
I take the train between SJ and LA every other month or so, and find this an interesting alternative (the Coast Starlight takes it's time - 10+hours). I'd want to know what controls they have in place to ensure fresh, awake drivers. Edit: There's also a curious lack of information on the website.

This is a great idea. Worth mentioning you save money on the hotel too.
