It's a vacation on the way to your vacation. Maybe you're still young enough that when you go on vacation you're like, "I want to do X and then do Y and then Z and take the most advantage of my time off by doing everything I can." But as you get older, you're going to want more and more of a ratio of downtime to active time during vacations. Maybe it starts as a day at the hotel recovering from your flight. But the downtime is a spectrum and it shifts. For me, a train ride is a nice way to shift the downtime. If I'm going to be crashing at the hotel for a day or two rest anyways, I'd rather have a hotel where the scenery is changing the entire time. Plus the lack of Wi-Fi and cellular data helps me transition into not dealing with work or my computer gaming addiction, so I'm ready to focus on the time at my destination. At the extreme end of the spectrum is cruise ships, when people get so old they want the entire trip to be "the hotel" with just brief activities that they can take it or leave it.

If i had to choose between a flight and a sleeper train passage, it would always be the 2nd because noone would limit the items I could have with me on board.

I feel that a lot of it is pandemic-era vibes more than practical reality, but there's still something quite nice about going to sleep somewhere, and then waking up somewhere else.
