7. Sleeping during takeoff or landing is not advised.
Though many passengers try to sleep immediately after boarding, flight attendants recommend staying awake during takeoff and landing. These critical moments require attention, and pressure changes can cause discomfort, such as ear pain or nosebleeds.
Chewing gum or sucking on candy can help alleviate pressure changes. Staying alert during these times also ensures passengers are ready to follow instructions, contributing to overall safety.
