[quote=Anonymous]That's me!

I have slept on a plane a grand total of one time since I was a little kid (ah, the blissful days when you could lay down with your head in your mom's lap and sleep) and that was when there was a disturbance from the crazy guy next to me on a flight to Europe and the bumped me to an empty seat in first class with a seat that reclined to fully flat.

For me, it's just straight up that I cannot sleep sitting up. Cannot do it. I've tried everything - special pillows, etc. I even took a bunch of excedrin PM before a flight once - I was so tired I was literally in tears but still could not sleep.

So, I've moved to acceptance. I will be awake. I try as I can to adjust me flight times accordingly, and when I can't, I just plan on an all-nighter and a long nap at the hotel the next morning.

I will say, I've never taken more than an eight hour flight. 17 hours would be hard for me. I'd try to leave in the morning if I could, but I don't know what plane schedules are like. 9am - 2am and get to the hotel by 4am would be way better for me than staying up all night and... still having a day on a plane. But it is what it is. It's one day.

I feel like there should be long-haul flight planes that have like narrow triple bunk beds instead of three seats in some of the plane. I'd way rather lay down the whole flight than sit the whole flight and I can't be the only one. [/quote]
