I wore it on my red eye to England last summer and literally slept 6 hours straight which is insane for me. Slept through both meal services (dinner and breakfast) and had to be woken up to raise my set and be ready for landing. I imagine something like this would help if snoring is loud.

Too bad the headband thing can't also teach you how to read. OP said she has young kids, so she can't block sounds while sleeping.

Wait, she has to be available to help young kids…but wants to fall asleep ?

That makes no sense.

My reaction to somebody snoring for an overnight flight would be jealousy. I’ve never been able to sleep on planes. Just too uncomfortable for me.

OP here, I did not say I wanted to sleep, I did however want my children to sleep—who were a part of the impacted passengers subjected to the open mouth loud snoring for the entirety of the flight.
