I am gonna be honest with you here. Some of us born with a gift, given directly from god. They can sleep, without thinking embarrassing memories, without using any medicine, without finding comfort itself. But you and I... and many others... we are not welcomed to this dream world of easy sleepers. We are not gifted.
While many times it is a gift it is a curse if we suppose to be with someone. We go on a road trip? You barely close the door I am asleep. We ride buss I am asleep as soon as I sit down. Air plane I wake up 8 hours later. Hang out in bed I am gone.
I have to fight to stay awake but that is in vain. I will lose the fight five minutes later.
My partner is one of these. I have photos of him sleeping on planes, trains, boats and cars. He can be worried about something, or stressed about tomorrow, and still fall asleep within 5 minutes of laying down. I am so jealous.
Drugs
Pure exhaustion from all the "hurry up and wait" of airport bullshit.
By the time I've gotten out of bed, gotten ready, travelled to the airport, dragged all my shit through the airport, unpacked and repacked half of it through security, boarded the plane ... my body just kinda gives up on being awake.
The jet engine noise puts me to sleep. Those sweet delta waves.
For real. I sometimes put plane engine noise at home as background noise to fall asleep
I fly jetBlue or Southwest; no Delta for me.
neck pillow, eye mask, noise-cancelling headphones, and not comfortably
I use ear plugs then put on nose cancelling headphones.
Complete silence. I didn't hear the crying baby that was screaming for the 10 hour flight until the last hour lol.
Same here, except I use ear plugs as well as headphones
Diphenhydramine, melatonin, neck pillow, and EYE MASK. Critical to block out light. Bonus for noise cancwlli headphones playing noise.
