Accepted Answer

Not sure what your: question is.  Are you asking what is a safe commuting time for someone with your work schedule?  That depends on how tired you are and how likely you are to be able to change your schedule.  If you feel like you are commuting too long and it's not safe, then it's most likely true.

Question 7

commuting through an area with heavy drug use, seen a couple syringes on the floor. does drug residue get tracked into my car/yard via the bottom of my shoes. if so, can that endanger my toddler when he is playing and drops toys to bottom of car?

Commuting by air: No difference, assuming both are healthy & without fear of flying & are happy with their work.

Question 10

want to work out daily but am more tired now after the work day and commute. any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Work out in Morning: Best time to get exercise is in the morning before your work day.  It is a bit of a commitment, but once you decide to work out in the mornings, the endorphins will keep working for you throughout the day, and you will notice increased energy to get through the day as well as general feeling of well being.  Running 20minutes on a treadmill or outside, playing some racquet sport such as squash, yoga, and calisthenics are all good choices.  Working out after work means you should eat a light lunch and push through urge not to work out. Its a mental toughness game.
