Yes, but trains don't need to sleep. I'm not saying I'd recommend driving 31h at a time, I'm saying I don't understand why that would be so much faster.

Plenty of stops and built-in delays with overlaid industrial trains. Additionally, you aren't going generally as fast as a car can, especially on long stretches of rural highways.

Driving you don't need to pull over to the side of the road for 2h and let semis pass you.
On the train, you will often have to pull over to let freight trains pass you.
