A long flight is a great time to catch up on sleep. It can be difficult to fall asleep quickly due to noise and other distractions, but you can take measures to ensure that your time on the plane is productive and peaceful. Always remember to be courteous to the people traveling with you as you try to get comfortable and catch some shut eye.

Instructions
1
Pick a seat where you will be comfortable. Many people prefer the window seat for sleeping because you can lean against the side of the plane.
2
Place the earplugs in your ears as the sound of flying can produce a lot of ambient noise that makes it hard to fall asleep.
3
Recline back in your seat to a comfortable angle and place your blanket over your lap to keep you warm. The seats in first or business class will recline further back than seats in coach.
4
Buying a travel pillow in a 'U' shape will hug your neck and support your head.
Place your travel pillow behind your neck so that your head is supported if it falls to either side.
5
Having an eye mask will block out light, especially if you are sitting in a window seat.
Place the eye mask over your eyes to block out unwanted light.
