Flightster Friday: Sleeping on a Plane

In my off time when I travel and fly around for pleasure usually the take-off roll puts me right to sleep. I think the hum of the engines, with the force pushing me back into my seat because of the nose pointed upward and the vibrations much like a massage creates the illusion that I’m sitting in first class and as comfortable as I’m going to get.

Somewhere around the point where the aircraft levels off and the flight attendant’s starts making their announcements I awake from my short nap and the reality that I’m in a middle seat sets in.

Middle seat or not, sleeping in a coach seat can be one of the most uncomfortable, awkward and painful things you might ever do you to your body. I happen to prefer the window seat on a flight, for sleeping purposes only. Sure, it becomes a pain if you have to use the restroom and need to ask the two folks sitting along side you to move, but on a 3-4 hour flight, you should be fine. The ability to rest your head up against the wall of the aircraft with a shirt, sweater or a real pillow to sleep is heavenly.
