No I'm right there with you. OMG the best sleep I can get is sitting right up in the nose of a 747 headed across the pacific to Australia. When that big whale gets to rocking around. I can sleep so well. No plane has ever been brought down due to turbulence alone so it doesn't worry me at all. But I also agree I don't like it at all on ERJ's. I have had some nasty weather flying in the midwest in the spring on those birds.
