I cannot sleep sitting upright in a chair due to suffering from Sleep Apnea. This means I fall asleep for 10 minutes, then start to snore and wake myself up fully aware that I have done a big snort or snore that has awoken me. When my OH says you were asleep as I heard you snoring, I am quick to SNAP back and say I do NOT sleep on a long haul flight. I sleep, wake up, sleep , wake up ..... and this is regular every hour. I get so snappy and bad tempered from not having proper uninterrupeted sleep. If anyone then accuses me of saying you had sleep... you were snoring.. then I am fit to kill !
I like to keep myself amused on flights and this year was totally p*ssed off this year after paying for an upgrade, was not available. I get through the flight watching films etc on the personal entertainment system, but unfortunately it wasnt available.
After check up , When I heard we had no premium upgrade , I just decided to get drunk instead. Not the best suggestion as we cannot remember stopping off at Bahrain.
Best way to get over your travel is to NOT GO TO BED. Stay up as long as you can, then go to bed, you will drop asleep and then be back up as normal.
