How to sleep on an airplane!

Are you guilty of any of these? Bring a hat next time you fly.

... Read moreSleeping on an airplane can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can improve your chances of getting quality rest mid-air. One of the most effective tips is to choose the right seat. Opt for window seats when possible, as they provide a surface to lean against and minimize disturbances from fellow passengers. Consider using travel accessories such as neck pillows and eye masks to enhance comfort and block out noise and light. Hydration plays a crucial role, so make sure to drink plenty of water before and during your flight. Avoiding caffeine and alcohol can also help, as they may disrupt your sleep cycle. If the cabin environment feels cold, layering your clothing will help keep you warm, making it easier to relax and doze off. Additionally, practicing good sleep hygiene before your trip is important. Try acclimating to your destination’s time zone by adjusting your sleep schedule and getting plenty of rest in the days leading up to your flight. This will ensure that your body is ready for sleep when you’re high above the clouds. Finally, a sleep playlist or white noise app on your phone can provide soothing background sounds that make it easier to drift into slumber. With these strategies in hand, you will be better equipped to conquer flight fatigue and arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and ready to explore!

BEST AIRPLANE SNACKS
It is absolutely criminal how much airport stores charge for snacks!! Before a trip I stopped by a stand and bought 3 snacks and it was $40!! Insane! I like to bring snacks that are filling (high protein and fiber), not super messy, and are easy to pack. I’m obsessed with Target’s Chex mix…
