I never understood why people jump on planes without noise canceling headphones and expect to be sleeping while sitting in a uncomfortable chair.
You can choose to bring noise canceling headphones but you choose not to. The infant can't choose.
Kids aside, I don't know how anyone is able to sleep in an upright chair to begin with.
If you're tired, you'll sleep in almost any position. I'm not talking good sleep, 8 hours and waking up well-rested.
Recently, I feel asleep on a train, sitting in a jump seat, going sideways, my head against a window. Some evenings, after work, I fall asleep in my living room chair.
Some people even fall asleep while driving a car.
True while I had COVID recently I nearly fell asleep sitting bolt upright lmaoo. Still, for many it's difficult to near impossible to sleep on a plane unless you're lucky enough to get a window seat!
If I have a window seat, I literally can't stay awake on a flight. I don't know why. There's been times I've sat down and fallen asleep before the plane is even in the air. But I'm also like 5'4" and actually fit comfortably in budget airline seats.
That’s the secret, you don’t. It is physically impossible to sleep like that. But you can ACT like you’re sleeping so the hyper communicative elder next to you stops talking to you.
