Want to get in some good practice for sleeping on planes?
Try Motherhood.
Surveys show that economy travelers on overnight flights get about 3-hours of sleep (and business and first-class flyers don’t do much better, with about 4-hours).
Well, consider them lucky. The lovely Travel Diva points out that new mothers get about 3-and-a-half hours sleep a night and thats all they get, EVERY night for about 4-months!
One big reason: all those new-fangled baby gadgets like monitors that keep moms alert to their wee ones every little gurgle and coo. And apparently, only moms can hear these monitors; many new dads say they get their normal sleep hours in.
[Things get better after 4-months: I know one couple that used to play dead when baby noises would start coming over the monitor, hoping my husband the other party would crack and go to the baby first].
Anyway, so you don’t get much sleep on a plane? Oh, don’t be such a baby!
