😴 The Pro Napper - Asleep Before the Seatbelt Sign Goes Off

Whoever ends up in the next seat is irrelevant — the mission is sleep, and it gets completed every time.

Signature traits

Out cold before the seatbelt sign is switched off
Sleep outranks the meal service, always
Turbulence does not register as an event
The landing announcement functions as their alarm

What they're like to sit next to

Takes up no attention whatsoever, so there's nothing to manage
A row dispute is structurally impossible with them in it
Walks off the plane in better shape than anyone else on board

Worth watching out for

Puts their neighbour in the awkward spot of having to wake them
Sleeps straight through the meal, the drinks and the duty-free cart
The shoulder has been known to migrate into the next seat

Best row-mate pairing (just for fun)

🎧 The Headphone Fortress — One of you has sealed off their airspace and the other is unconscious. There is simply no mechanism by which either of you could bother the other.

※ Type compatibility is for entertainment only — there's no science behind it.

In-flight tip

Use the bathroom before you go under and bring a neck pillow. Those two things spare your neighbour the awkward tap on the shoulder and spare you the crick in your neck — the cheapest preparation in travel.
