I always struggle to sleep on flights. The only time I've really managed it was on a flight to Dubai when I took full advantage of the free booze being served. Only problem was I woke with a raging hangover which made the connecting flight to Thailand a pretty grim experience.

Seats are just too uncomfortable, I never sleep more than an hour on long haul 13hr plus flights .... Might try sleeping pills next time, booze didn't solve the problem....

Haha know that feeling did the same thing when I went Malaysia.

Just flown back from the USA and got a few hours kip. On the ground at Heathrow & looking like I'll get a few more hours as the airbridge is fucked & we can't get off, which means my connection to Manchester is toast.

Try and go on a two day bender before I take a long haul flight. That usually helps me sleep on the flight.
Fuck that lot, just get pissed enough not to be a nuisance, you will kip fine.Drink water, not alcohol. Eat the first meal, take some melatonin and a couple of swigs of Benadryl, and you should sleep fine. If you don’t drop off straight away, ear plugs and some reading should do the trick.
As always, try to live your day before a long flight on (at least) half the time difference between here and there. (e.g. 6 hrs between Manc & Chicago, so I...in Chicago...get up about 3 hrs earlier than normal, get some exercise & fresh air, eat on a Manc timeline, eat the offering on the flight and bed down for the night ASAP after the meal, which is when they usually dim the lights.)
On a WESTBOUND flight, do it the other way, if you can...get up about 3 hrs later, so you don’t experience a 30 hr day! Jet lag only an issue EASTBOUND!!

If only that’s how it worked, we would fill you ALL full of booze before takeoff. Sadly, there’s only a small percentage of people who appear to get “pissed enough to not be a nuisance!” The rest? Pain in the fucking arse, sometimes requiring a diversion and arrest no one really wants!Fuck that lot, just get pissed enough not to be a nuisance, you will kip fine.

I recommend sitting on the very edge of an aisle seat, you'll soon drop off.

I sleep in a plane no problem. Well I do when people around me aren't being giddy cunts or talking shite.
And I'm sick to fuckin' death of getting an aisle seat to be disturbed by a clumsy trolley dolly bumping into me every time I manage to nod off.
And I wish they would keep tannoy announcements to a minimum. No I don't want to buy a fuckin' charity scratch card, fuck off you mithering cunts!
