Here are some tips for sleeping on a plane:
-
Choose a comfortable seat: If you have the option of choosing a seat before flying, try choosing a window or emergency exit seat so you have more room for a comfortable sleep.
-
Get ready: Bring a soft pillow, blanket, sleep mask and headphones to create a comfortable sleeping environment. You should also wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
-
Maintain proper posture: Use a neck support pillow or inflatable pillow to relieve discomfort and prevent neck pain. You can also place a pillow or rolled up clothing under your lower back to support your lower back.
-
Avoid hard liquor and caffeine: Caffeine and alcohol can interfere with normal sleep and cause disorientation during flight. Try to avoid consuming them before your flight.
-
Make an effort to create a comfortable environment: Turn on your headphones and play calm music or nature sounds to reduce noise and create a relaxing atmosphere. A sleep mask and noise-canceling headphones can also help isolate you from the environment around you.
-
Adjust the lights: If possible, use a sleep mask or ask the flight attendant to close the curtains to dim the interior lights and create a more peaceful sleeping environment.
-
Try a sleeping pill: If you find it difficult to fall asleep on an airplane, you can consult your doctor about taking a light sleeping pill. However, this should only be done after consulting a medical professional.
Remember that every person is different and what works for one person may not work for another. Experiment with different methods and find the one that works best for you.
