I can fall asleep almost anywhere. I routinely fall asleep in the break room at work. Once, I was helping a friend fix his car, and I fell asleep on his garage floor when he went inside to get water.
But in a hot metal tube tearing through the sky, with my neck all kinked? Get out of here, man.
If it’s hot in the plane, that might be blocking you from sleeping. Personally I’m always cold in planes and fall asleep relatively easily both on planes and elsewhere.
It also helps to be jet-lagged. Knocks you out right quick :P Only applies to return trips though.
neck pillow, eye mask, noise-cancelling headphones, and not comfortably
Only time I could ever sleep on a plane was after a business trip were I worked 18 hours days for almost 2 weeks. I was so tired I fell asleep right after boarding and buckling in. Not even takeoff and landing woke me up. Flight attendant shook me awake. LOL
Every time I’m in a plane, I get leg pain. I don’t know where people put their legs and be comfortable. Once I was up for 50 hours at least, got a bunch of beer on the plane and still couldn’t sleep.
Drugs
I am not sure if this is a joke, but many people take something that makes them sleepy. I can’t do it.
