30,000 Feet of Sleep
Tomorrow we’ll be hopping a flight back to Georgia. The BFF is getting married; and yes, I’m the “Matron of Honor.” Please hold all “old lady” jokes, kthx.
Made a quick video to show you how I manage to sleep on an airplane. I’ve got this down to a science, and I don’t care how silly I look:
What about you? Can you sleep on a plane?

Sure looks a lot better than those masks.
I’ve never had trouble sleeping anywhere…including on the keyboard when it’s late and I should be getting to bed.
…6 minutes later…
Maybe I should go to bed now…enjoy the trip home!
that would call for extra security screening. (um, captain, I think the unibomber is on our plane).
See you this wknd.
For the Kingdom,

Girl, you are hilarious. You don’t want to make a new friend when you fly? What if you sit next to someone who reads your blog and you don’t even know it! Of course they SHOULD be reading so you need to tell them that. They probably think you’re high with the get up you’re wearing so maybe tell them about the blog before tying your face closed.
This is how I slept for 6 straight hours on the flight back from Oregon a few weeks ago. I was so tired that I didn’t even care.
I took two tylenol pm and was OUT. I was asleep before the two other men in my row sat down. I think the poor guy beside me thought I was dead.
Or maybe on drugs… You might be right!
I hate flying – it makes me a little sick. But I can sometimes sleep. My problem with that is that I know I’m a mouth breather, and I’m always afraid that people around me are watching me sleeping with my mouth hanging open…and possibly drool coming out…and it’s just too much.
The drool can be problematic! But if you pull the cinch strings on your hoodie, it’ll hold your mouth shut.
Oh yes it will!
I’m with Fred – Unabomber with an E-Z-Doze pillow!
What happens in the event of a mid-air emergency??
Has anyone ever stuck anything extremely embarrassing or ‘compromising’ in your arms while you slept and ‘snapped’ a piccie for the folks back hone??
Are you SURE!??

I cannot sleep on a plane. I think the airline passenger seat was designed to be comfortable only for peopleof your particular size and stature.

you would do just fine on a transatlantic flight. i can just about sleep through the whole thing…
[nice animoto skills!]
hahaha I love the video.
I can’t sleep on planes though. The only time I did was coming home from Orlando, after 10 days of running around all of the theme parks. I was in the first row behind first class, so I had an incredible amount of leg space. I was out for most of the flight.
Love: I don’t usually knock myself out that deeply. But, no, nothing strange has ever happened. And in the case of an emergency? I wake up, scream hysterically, and grab the oxygen mask. Or, well, I die in my sleep. I think I’d rather be asleep.
Al: BRING ON THE TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT!
Hilarious! I rely heavily on motion sickness pills. They make me not sick, and also happen to make me pass out cold. Two birds. One stone.
I’m 6’1″, pushing 270. And I fly coach. The “No Sleeping” light is always on!
I can sleep anywhere but in a car or on a plane.
that looks comfy… but has to do a number on your hair!!!
have a blast at the wedding!
ummmm, I would be SCARED sitting next to you! haha!
You do look kinda like you were either the hijacker or the hijackee … but with a questionable method of detainment (the pillow).
I don’t have any trouble sleeping anywhere. Actually, I have a hard time staying awake on planes. Something about the air pressure or something. Makes me go out like a light.
I was with you until you pulled the hood tight on your face. Can you say claustrophobic?!?!?
brandi – it DOES do a number on her hair. you shouldve seen her when she got off the plane here in oregon…bless her heart.
