EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SLEEP BETTER ON AN OVERNIGHT FLIGHT

Honestly, planes are not comfortable places for sleep. They comprise constant noise and sardine-packed spaces, making sleep problematic when traveling at night. But the tips below can help.

Tips on how to sleep on a plane overnight

Consider bed socks

Studies showed that feet-warming socks increased sleep efficiency by 7.6%. Therefore, wear bed socks in shoes without forgetting your blanket.

Wear earplugs

A study discovered that airplane noise caused sleep disruptions, especially for people neighboring an airport. That is why sleeping on a plane is hard too. But a pair of earplugs or noise-canceling headphones can block it, giving you peace in sleep.

Find good support and lean back

Incline your seat at 135-degree angle if you want to sleep well. It is the safest sleep posture because it exerts less pressure on your body. This way, you may not have a blood clot.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
