Many travelers find themselves wanting to doze off as soon as they settle into their seats on an airplane. However, flight attendants strongly advise against sleeping during takeoff or landing. These critical phases of flight require passengers to be alert and aware of their surroundings. In particular, some individuals may experience discomfort due to pressure changes, which can lead to issues like nosebleeds or ear pain.
To mitigate these effects, flight attendants recommend chewing gum or sucking on hard candies before the aircraft ascends. These actions can help equalize pressure in the ears and keep passengers more comfortable during the flight. Staying awake during these crucial moments allows passengers to respond effectively to any announcements or instructions from the crew, ensuring everyone’s safety.
