Overnight "Cattle" Express

I seriously hate red-eye flights... they're nearly a guarentee that I get no sleep for the day. First off, airline seats are designed for people under 5'6" tall and as wide as an anorexic cheerleader. As I'm WAY out of that size range (which is partially my fault for being a fatty), I have zero room to begin with. Then of course I get seated next to another "decent sized" male passenger and it's a recipe for a brutally uncomfortable flight.

Second off, my insomniatic mind requires very specific conditions for me to be able to fall asleep (note that I said fall asleep, not pass out from exhaustion), and these will never be met on your standard airline flight.

So what does that leave me? Five hours of trying to at least rest my eyes, continually trying to find some position that doesn't kill my back, and looping a track on my iPod to try and shut my conscious mind down.

At least there's a triple shot carmel macchiato waiting at the end!
