Can you sleep on a plane?

I'm on one now ready for take off and these lads I'm sat next to are about to get a whole lot of drooling and snoring!

Cake is very tired today

Someone's doing alright for themselves

I'm in a cattle mart of a plane where the seats are near 90degrees with no option to recline

Yep - Easy. I can sit down on a plane at Heathrow and by the time we've taxied to the runway and Biggles is powering up I'm away in cloud cookoo land!

No! I couldn't relax I hate flying. Last time I flew was in 1999 to Kenya I stayed awake for the whole flight but slept with my head against the window of the bus/taxi as he carrered down the dirt tracks/roads

My sister flew first class to Florida with her Father and had a panic attack and fainted twice getting on the plane. Then proceeded to take a million snap chats cos she had her own pod thing with a flat bed and a telly and shit!

I've only ever done economy but I have a mild form of narcolepsy and can literally sleep on a chickens lip. So yeah I can sleep on a plane, train, bus!

I'm far too chatty to sleep. Normally people ask to change seats if there are any spare. I sometimes get a row to myself.

I'm never able to sleep on planes, even if the company is quiet, the constant mechanical droning noises, the wind noise, rattling around of cabin crew, all prevent decent sleep.

I usually just close my eyes and concentrate on relaxing breathing, and being in a comfortable (for a plane) position.

"I've had it with these motherfucking people sleeping on this motherfucking plane!"

I sleep on long flights, I stay awake on short.

Flying is awesome during the take-off and landing parts but tedious and dull once you're up there for several hours. Unless you get to see the Aurora Borealis out of the window. That is simply magical.

Nope, never sleep on a plane..

I get friendly with one of the host or hostess and ensure I have a supply of gin and tonic heading in my direction all flight.

I struggle. Not because I am not relaxed...I hardly notice the takeoff...but I just don't sleep that well.

Even coming back from Barbados in First Class last year I didn't sleep more than 10 mins.

Mind you.... I am a bit big for the beds.

Due to the cylindrical nature of the plane's fusilage I cannot sleep on a plane. I keep rolling off.

Managed to just once . For probably the only time ever was on a fairly empty flight so could lie across all three seats. Normally have someones bingo wings invading my space or obligatory brat kicking the seat

Unless I am on one where the booze is free (when I take the same attitude as an all you can eat Chinese buffet - Challenge accepted) Then yes quite easily....Luton to Glasgow for work regularly snooze all the way, especially on the earlier flights!

Usually on long haul back from America , but I stay awake late the night before I'm due to fly home so I am tired by the time it comes to get in the plane , I find it helps with the jet lag as well

I'm normally asleep by take off.

I think it's the resonance of the engines.

Besides if I'm going to crash and die, I'd like it to be in my sleep.

If I "try" and sleep on a plane I never can regardless of the cabin class, however if I'm extra tired then it's not unheard of for me to nod off but it's never for long

I fly 40-50 times a year, mostly domestic. On the long haul flights, I get distracted by the plane over the Atlantic Ocean and then can't sleep. However the best airline to sleep with is British Airways...I literally have been given a whole row to myself and no one near to sleep and the cabin crew are super attentive

My problem is in cattle class the legroom means if I am in an aisle seat the trolley keeps hitting my legs and waking me up

I am ok if I am on a window seat as I normally put jumper or hoody and use as a pillow against the side of the plane

Flying up to Glasgow this lass fell asleep on my shoulder

Reply privately, Reply in forum +quote or View forums list

By (user no longer on site) over a year ago

Can't do it. I'm a big chap, not fat, far from it. Due to the size of my legs I have to wedge myself in, which is not comfortable and my shoulders take up a good portion of the seat either side of me. I don't mind flying but just can't get comfortable enough to sleep.

The plan is usually a drink or 2 then sleep, that's until I see which TV shows or movies are showing and I end up watching while everyone around me sleeps, with me trying not to laugh out loud at the funny parts

Often it's the other passengers who do their best to stop you, with bright TV screens flickering and making tons of movement - loo every few minutes etc.

I hate the sensation of flying

I don't have a fear of it per se

It is more borderline claustrophobia

So, as soon as the doors shut, that's it, I feel like I am suffocating

I literally have to calm & talk to myself the whole journey

So sleep is simply not a possibility.

Hence why these days, I limit myself to flights of around 2 hours.

It's easy for women, show some cleavage and as long as they don't drown men don't care where your head rests or how much you dribble
