How to Sleep on Airplanes (and in Airports)Review by Courtney S. Ries Any road warrior knows the pain associated with trying to sleep on planes an in airports. Between screaming kids, bright lights and uncomfortable positioning, it's no wonder most travelers arrive at their destinations exhausted, cranky and ready for bed. Not any more: How to Sleep on Airplanes (and in Airports) offers step-by-step instructions on how best to catch some shut-eye. The authors, brothers John and Evan Stallcup, boast two million flight miles between 'em, and claim to have been perfecting their sleep technique for the past 20 years. How to Sleep on Airplanes (and in Airports) is clearly laid out with instructions on how to be prepared, what to do pre-boarding, information on napping, a guide to settling in and how to finally relax and reach "sleep, sweet sleep". There is also extra information on jet lag, how sleep works, drugs and herbs, and other resources. The writing in this travel-wallet shaped book isn't spectacular, but then again, it's not meant to be. It is, however, cheeky, fun and easy-to-read. The Stallcups provide lots of basic advice, such as 'avoid the middle seat' but there are plenty of things even seasoned airplane veterans may not know, such a breathing and visualization exercises. This quick read compiles many tips, tricks and resources in one place. Not having to hassle with scouring the internet and a variety of books for solutions to your sleeping woes is worth the $8.95 alone.
