How to Sleep in an Airplane

170

the flight attendant asked me in the morning “wow, how do you sleep the whole flight like that????  do you take sleeping pills???”   i told her “i do this all the time so i just follow a simple routine.  and no, i don’t do drugs.  so i’ll be your best passenger today because you won’t hear a thing from me…”

here is how i sleep the whole way on an airplane.  first, eat a nice dinner before you get on the flight.  that way, you’re stomach is happy and you don’t have to wait an hour before the food comes out after take off.  second, dress warm.  long pants, jacket, and most importantly, thick socks.  in my case, i wear 2 layers.  that way, you don’t need to keep a blanket over you the whole flight.  third, tell the flight attendant before take off, “i’m going to sleep the whole way so please don’t wake me up.   thank you.”  that way, nobody taps your head trying to wake you up for dinner.  fourth, put on a face mask.  that way your throat won’t get dry when you’re snoring.  put in ear plugs.  that way you won’t hear babies crying.  put on a eye mask.  that way you won’t get blinded when somebody opens the shutter on the window.  and last, recline you seat and enjoy the ride!!!

opps, i forgot.  make sure you use the toilet before you board the flight.  make sure you empty every single drop of pee.  that way, you can sleep the whole way through.  and opps again.  i forgot, DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL!  that way, you won’t have to pee, get dehydrated, and wake up with a hangover.  and opps opps, don’t watch a movie!  sleep the whole way to Hawaii and then you will have lots of energy on your first day!  be ready because when i say go, you “go!”  haha…
