    Yes, the distraction definitely IS helpful especially when you don't actually have the window seat and keep reaching over and annoying someone else every 10 minutes lol, then moaning 'I can't seem to recentralise' and stopping them reading. I discovered a few years ago I went on a couple of flights with the screens that showed your progress and flight stats, and I felt better marginally better on those flights watching the little plane making progress, turning and so on. Anyhow, I shall be employing the tactic in a month of so for another flight. (BTW thanks for the 'genius' comment wired, but it wasn't really....just borne of desperation and clinging to my phone)

    I take a Xanax and sleep. For me it’s not a fear of heights, it’s claustrophobia.

    Everything about it affects me, but I'm determined never to use sedatives - you never know if we crash I need my wits about me to get out lol (JOKING!!!) To the OP - apparently stats say that you are safer in the sky in a plane than walking around your local city or in your home.

    The only thing I worry about going to sleep on flights is maybe a Herbert the Pervert touching me or something...but there's so many people around, it's unlikely.
