Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it’s incredibly lucky if they don’t spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I’m not going to rant too hard about that.
Why on earth hasn’t any airline started marketing adult-only flights?
It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Kids aside, I don’t know how anyone is able to sleep in an upright chair to begin with.
If you’re tired, you’ll sleep in almost any position. I’m not talking good sleep, 8 hours and waking up well-rested.
Recently, I feel asleep on a train, sitting in a jump seat, going sideways, my head against a window. Some evenings, after work, I fall asleep in my living room chair.
Some people even fall asleep while driving a car.
True while I had COVID recently I nearly fell asleep sitting bolt upright lmaoo. Still, for many it’s difficult to near impossible to sleep on a plane unless you’re lucky enough to get a window seat!
If I have a window seat, I literally can’t stay awake on a flight. I don’t know why. There’s been times I’ve sat down and fallen asleep before the plane is even in the air. But I’m also like 5’4" and actually fit comfortably in budget airline seats.
That’s the secret, you don’t. It is physically impossible to sleep like that. But you can ACT like you’re sleeping so the hyper communicative elder next to you stops talking to you.
