Do you sleep on planes? If so, you probably already have your routine set. If not, maybe some of these tips will help.
A sleep mask blocks out the light. Ear plugs block out sounds. Noise cancelling headphones can be a great addition to your carry-on bag.
If your flight is an overnight one, it might help to dim the screen or shut it off completely.
If you’re taller than the blankets given on long flights, you might want to bring a shawl or lightweight blanket of your own. That way you can stay warm enough.
Consider bringing an extra pair of socks.
Make sure your legs have enough room. I know there isn’t much extra space to deal with, but moving whatever you can out of the way will help.
If you’re used to taking Melatonin to help with sleep, consider taking it on long flights as well.
If motion sickness is an issue, be sure to talk to your physician and see what you can take.
Sometimes, having an essential oil like lavender helps as well.
If you normally have a glass of wine before you go to bed, have one in the air.
If you have extra time in the airport before you depart, get a massage.
Be sure to wear comfortable, not constricting, clothes.
