Did you try a sleep mask?



Hand out free on long distance flights.



It's years since I've been given a sleep mask on a long haul flight.



I have never been given a sleep mask on a flight, regardless of the time

of the flight.

It never occurred to me that I might need one. I had never been that far

north before.



I believe British Airways gives us sleep masks for flights from San

Francisco (and now Phoenix) to London.



We usually fly in late May or June. It's an overnight flight following

a great circle path. The flight departs in early evening and as you

fly toward the northeast the sun is off the left wing (I try to get

seats n the right side). As you fly over Canada and approach Greenland

the sun remains off the left wing. It never ctually sets and as you

fly from Greenland down to England the sun remains off the left wing.

But when you land in the morning there it's the next day.

You're in the northern hemisphere and the sun's in the north-west?
