Stack-Sleep Method

When your back's against a wall, stack high.
Airplane sleep can be a challenge, but the stack-sleep method may be able to help.


Props needed:
Neck pillow
Airplane pillow
On-flight blanket

If you don't have all of these items you may be able to substitute a small carry on bag as well.

The method is simple, you want to create a tower off fluffiness, using your tray table as a solid base. I usually start with the blanket, which is more effective if you fold it several times giving it more body to work with. Don't question me, just do it.

Next, place the inflated neck pillow on top of the blanket, open horseshoe end facing towards you. This creates a massage table effect, giving your face somewhere to sink in.

Final step, added cushion. Using the pillow provided by most airlines, you now have a plush surface to sink your head into, without straining your neck too much. The final result should look like this:



I personally find it even more comfortable placing at least one arm between the neck pillow and top pillow, but that's preference. Once you're in position, throw on some tunes to help drown out excess noise, and you're off to dreamland… until the guy sitting next to you needs to take a piss.
