Finding sleep during long flights can be difficult, but sleep expert James Leinhardt offers practical advice on how to achieve it. Leinhardt’s tips revolve around three essential cornerstones: bodyweight distribution, neck support, and simulating a mattress. By reclining the seat to disperse body weight, using a selfmade neck support, and bringing a lumbar cushion to fill the gap between the back and seat, travelers can transform an airplane seat into a sleepfriendly environment. Leinhardt’s guidance promotes comfort and reinforces the belief that restful sleep is achievable even thousands of feet above the ground.
