Sleeping on a plane can be a rather uncomfortable experience. Unless you spend a fortune on a business class flat-bed seat, you\u2019re likely to be stuck in your seat\u2019s cramped space. Not to mention, you\u2019ll have to deal with the transit\u2019s general stress as well as some cabin pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, even when you\u2019re taking the night red-eye hours, flights are still not the best places to get some sleep. But, guess what? There are a few ways to make your sleep on the plane somewhat better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a little help from experts and travel bloggers, we\u2019ve listed down some tips to help you get some sleep on long airplane rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring eye masks and earplugs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eye masks and earplugs are truly a godsend<\/strong> when you\u2019re on a long, crowded flight. After all, these items will practically block out the noise and light<\/strong> from everything and anything around you. Furthermore, they let you zone out and rest even when you\u2019re sitting up straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, these things help you not get startled when a seatmate all of a sudden turns on his or her reading light at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noise is one of the primary obstacles when you\u2019re trying to catch some z\u2019s on an airplane. If your typical foam earplugs do not work, use the better quality earplugs that are made of silicone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EarPlanes, a well-known brand, is specifically designed for use on commercial airplanes. Plus, it\u2019s also built to help relieve air pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisely choose your airplane seat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Window seats are ideal for long and not-so comfortable flights. With a window seat, not only can you lean against the plane\u2019s wall, but you also get full control of the window blind. To make your sleep more comfortable, wear a neck pillow and make sure to use the airline\u2019s pillow to support your head against the plane wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid alcohol and sugar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sipping a little bit of the bubbly and sampling a pinch of sugar may seem fun when you\u2019re soaring thousands of feet above the ground. But, you should skip that complimentary champagne and completely avoid sugar and alcohol. Sure, alcohol can send you to sleep quickly, but that is just a short nap that only lasts around 3 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you\u2019ll wake up with a nasty headache while feeling extremely thirsty. Even worse, you\u2019ll find it hard to get back to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar, meanwhile, will make you feel bloated, especially since you\u2019re sitting down for a long period of time. Additionally, sugar creates a spike in your energy, making you feel more active, which causes that you can’t fall asleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
