Does this look like a comfy seat to sleep in to you?
Have you ever had trouble sleeping on the plane while travelling? Especially when you are in coach? This happens to me all the time, and it is a huge problem, especially when one has a meeting right after the trip, as I arrive tired, frustrated and basically hating the world and everybody in it.
In the following article I heard the story of someone who had the same problems as me and researched it.
This is a sum up of what the article says and what the journalist found out:
"Eating habits, the right clothing and well-chosen seats may help someone like me in the short term, but my problems – sleep habits in general and travel-related stress – are longer-term issues with no easy solutions. And even if I do resolve them and eventually start sleeping on planes, the quality of that sleep won’t be so great"
I know this is a really depressing answer but and this is a big BUT there is something that you can do to make the situation a bit better: plan your flight knowing you will land tired, which means you can take a day flight and sleep on arrival or just plan a day to breath before getting into business.
All in all, hopefully this post will help you enjoy travelling a bit more!
