Comments on: How to Sleep on a Plane

on 7/8/2007 If you are on antihisthamines for allergies, switch to the old-fashioned ones that make you drowsy for the trip.

on 7/8/2007 If you have short legs, bring something to put under your feet. It's much easier to sleep if your legs are supported.

on 2/20/2007 Make sure you take off your shoes if you're going to sleep on a long flight! Once I didn't do this on a 20 hour flight to china and i almost got athletes foot, my feet were itching like crazy and I'm not even going to mention the smell...

on 8/8/2006 Take a small beach ball and a pillow case, get a window seat on the side of the plane which is better for you. This way you can adjust the beach ball with the amount of air to make it comfortable enough for you to sleep. It works like a charm.

on 11/22/2005 Pull your feet up in your chair, move your body slowly over to the next seat and lay your head on your neighbor. Most of them won't say a thing and you can sleep like a baby.

on 11/22/2005 Most travel pillows are U-shaped and wrap around the neck like a horse collar. Support is at the neck and lower portion of the head. This partial head support can cause the neck muscles on the other side to stretch and result in the proverbial pain in the neck. Travel 'n Sleep is a compact dual inflatable pillow that cradles both sides of the head, where it counts, rather then at the neck. This guarantees better support and a more comfortable head position while sleeping.

on 11/22/2005 Clip your seatbelt over your blanket. This may be uncomfortable, but the stewardess won't have to wake you up during turbulence to make sure you're buckled in.

on 11/22/2005 Take the exit row with the window seat. It has the most leg room (in some cases, more than first class). Even though you will be near the galley or restrooms, if you take earplugs and eye shades, it should compensate for the noise and lights.
