Lavender oil and a blanket: former flight attendant reveals her best sleeping tips

Former flight attendant Kat Kalamani, who has been flying for 6 years, has shared what you need to take with you on board to get enough sleep. According to her, it can be noisy, cold, and even too light on board to plunge into the world of dreams.

She talked about how to have a good night's sleep during a floght in a TikTok video. Kat promised that by following her advice, passengers would be able to avoid irritating external factors (to see the photo, scroll to the bottom of the page).

Kat advised to take noise-canceling headphones with you when traveling to get rid of unnecessary sounds from passengers or the loud roar of the plane's engine. She also recommended packing earplugs and a sleep mask.

According to an experienced flight attendant, the staff does not always receive an order to turn off the lights in the cabin. In addition, the flight may take place during the day when the sun is shining into the cabin.

The last unexpected tip was to buy lavender essential oil in advance. Kalamani claims that its scent makes the body tune in to sleep and relax.

If there are other factors that prevent you from falling asleep, you should ask the flight attendants for help. They can provide you with a blanket, ask the pilots to change the temperature in the cabin, and pacify rowdy neighbors.

If passengers are traveling with children, Kat advises offering them sweets that contain melatonin and taking away their phones. She recommends dressing the smallest tourists in pajamas to make it easier for them to tune in to the rest.
