If You do not like flying or flight – it is the very time that You would like to spend on rest and sleep, these tips are for You. The only thing that is very important to consider in this case – sleep in a sitting position can be harmful to those who have problems with the veins of the legs. We advise to check your health and in case of contraindications to consult a physician.
Do not neglect the preparation to rest during the flight. After all, it can make your flight pleasant and helpful.
For long flights we recommend to book a seat near the window. You can do this when booking the air ticket, if allowed by the airline company, or coming to the registration in advance and choosing your seat. In this case, nobody will disturb You, leaving and returning to their seats.
Bring to a cabin the mask for eyes, ear plugs or noise-cancelling headphones. These accessories will be able to separate You from all that is happening in the cabin. Special foldable plastic bottle, which can be purchased at some airports, or via the Internet, will help You not to worry about water on board. You need only to ask a flight attendant to fill it before the flight, and You will not suffer from thirst. For the convenience take with You the slippers to put off the tight shoes during the flight.
Prepare yourself for the sleep before the flight and after landing, just close your eyes and relax.
You should not neglect the special medicines that will help You to relax. The duration of medications to improve the sleep is usually 6-8 hours. That is quite enough for intercontinental flights.
Furthermore, it is better to prepare for the flight beforehand. As the chronobiologists studying biorhythms say that the flights from east to west are better for a human body. It is needed to prepare for such a flight for a few days before the trip: train yourself to go to bed and get up later than usually, and book morning or afternoon flights.
If You still have to fly to the east – start taking natural tonics for 5-7 days before the trip. And try some time before flying to work more actively in the first part of the day and in the second – take more rest. It is desirable that in this case, the flight takes place in the evening.
