Sleeping on flights
I used to be able to sleep on airplanes, but I lost the ability somewhere around 20. For some reason, I just can't fall asleep when semi-upright, no matter how tired I am, nor how much I try. I've got a long overnight Hawaii -> Boston trip coming up, for which I very much want to be sharp and alert when I arrive. I would be interested in hearing from people who have had the same problem, or any advice people have about falling asleep in this situation.

Proper head support is a must. Bring your own pillow. Go to a store and test some out. [/ QUOTE ] I have no problem falling asleep anywhere, but while semi-upright/upright, I find that head/neck support is essential. I fall asleep much easier when I use those neck-pillows (the ones that look like innertubes that you wear around your neck).

put tray down. lay pillow or other soft material on tray. sleep with head down. [/ QUOTE ] If I'm struggling with sleeping upright I will try this out of desperation, but it always ends up very uncomfortable.

[/ QUOTE ] i'm 6'1" 200lbs and can do it without too much problem. i mean, it's not as good as sleeping on a desk at school was, but if i'm in the middle or aisle seat it's better than nothing. edit: i have never used a neck pillow though.

Re: Sleeping on flights
I just did two recent round trips from baltimore and seattle.
Obviously it's not going to be real comfy, but if I find that I am uncomfortable from leaning back, I can often get comfortable enough with my head down on a blanket or shirt on the tray to get some sleep. FWIW, I'm about 6'0.

Re: Sleeping on flights
tray down and head rest is essential
i do it all the time it's essentially like sleeping in class, just a little worse...still much better than trying to sit upright i did it recently and my friends all looked at me like i was crazy...then they tried. never went back. i'm 5-10 so pretty short i guess...but my taller friends still like it also it's the most underused airplane strat by far.
