I can't seem to get to sleep and i only have 3 and a half hours till then. Should i stay up? I feel like sometimes I'm more tired if i sleep for only a short time, than if i stay up all night. I have a 5 hour flight but i can never get to sleep on airplanes. What do?

Three hour sleep is a trap OP, don't do it. Better off slamming some coffee or energy drinks or doing a bump or something. Three hours of sleep is either a lovely nap that makes you feel worse, or it's way more than three hours.

Half an hour before you get on the plane, so while you're waiting to board.

Tempted to just take my vyvanse early but I'm going from pacific time to eastern time so it might make the jet lag worse. Although actually if i take it later it will just keep me up later so hmmm maybe it's not a bad idea. It would wear off around 6pm eastern time i guess.

If you can't sleep, don't sleep. Crash when it's natural.

Granted this may not work all the time, but it's what will happen, lol

I mean, if you're getting off the plane and can just crash... do whatever you want.

If you need to pilot a Gundam or something you should be sleeping now and on the 5hr plane trip.

I stayed up shitposting and catching up on some threads. Of course NOW i feel tired but i will just take a caffeine pill, it's fine. Overall, i think it was worth it, i think i would have had trouble getting up after only sleeping 3 hours. Now I’m already up! Maybe i will finally fall asleep on a plane. Usually i just end up nodding off over and over.

You'll wake up startled groggy and confused just as the roof of the plane directly above you peels away.

Hope you kept your belt on.

Between the caffeine and the vyvanse this is a pretty unlikely scenario but I won't say I've never missed a flight before. Slept in the Dallas Airport once for that blunder.

Just dont take a door seat for the leg room because you may not be responsible enough if SHTF.

I always pick a door seat. You get a little more leg room and you get to open the door and escape first. At least here if you have the door seat they give you a run down of what to do in an emergency.

Sure, the door might be the fail point, but its not that common.

Eh, I'm pretty short so I don't worry about leg room. I'm hopped up on caffeine pills so I have an even faster reaction time than normal I think

actually the thing to do is eat your edibles right before you go through security, and set an alarm so you don't miss your flight. Then it's smooth sailing
