- Flying overnight can help you avoid wasting vacation days in transit, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to sleep on a plane.
- If you’re flying in economy, you will need to find a way to nap sitting up in a cramped space with crying babies, loud neighbors, and plenty of other distractions.
- This list of overnight flight essentials can help you get a good night’s rest without spending an arm and a leg to fly business class.
- Complimentary in-flight blankets simply don’t cut it. I always bring my own blanket, which can be easily tucked away when not in use.
Long-haul flights are not for the faint of heart, and that’s especially true if you’re stuck trying to sleep in economy. Noisy airplanes are far from ideal when it comes to getting a good night’s rest, and it doesn’t help when you are stuck sleeping upright next to strangers.
Still, I almost always fly international economy — and usually overnight — since it’s a cheap way to travel a long distance without losing a travel day.
If you have an upcoming long-haul flight and want to arrive at your destination well-rested, these are the products we recommend:
Vitamins that help you get a good night’s rest
Amazon
SugarBear Sleep Vitamins, $29.98, at Amazon
These berry-flavored gummies are filled with melatonin, lemon balm leaf, and other herbs designed to help you get a good night’s rest. I have personally used these vitamins for several flights now, and they are easy to take and consistently work for me.
A handy tool to convert your sweater into a pillow
Amazon
Flight Fillow, $15.97, at Amazon
This is one of my favorites because it lets you turn any sweater or jacket into a cozy travel pillow. Consider this option if you hate dragging bulky pillows around on long international trips.
A travel pillow with chin support
Amazon
BCOZZY Travel Pillow, $29.97, at Amazon
This travel pillow is a must-have if you want to sleep upright and need extra chin support. You can attach it to your handbag or carry-on for easy transport, and it’s versatile enough to be used in several different sleeping positions. The BCOZZY is firm enough to provide support but also soft to the touch — making it ideal for anyone who needs a firm pillow but doesn’t want to feel like they’re laying their head on a rock.
