Recently, I embarked on an extended Euro-trip.

[Read the full blog post here].

EXCITING, of course – but, with a catch. 

The flight to Dubai en-route to Europe departed from Brisbane at 2am. 

Tricky in any event, but even moreso with a two and four year old to contend with. 

I did the sleep math olympics trying to figure out how to cope. 

My realisation?

From a toddler perspective, I was likely screwed regardless of HOW I decided to approach things (especially since those awesome inflatable travel beds for kids on planes are banned on my Emirates flight – damn, right). 

And so, I started focusing on my own sleep. 

“If we get on the plane at 2am, they MIGHT go back to sleep for a few hours and it’s going to be smart to try and catch at least a couple of hours myself so I’m not zapped and losing my proverbial s$%# when we arrive in Dubai 14-hours later” – I thought. 

In other words? I started to focus on the things I thought I MIIIIIIGHT be able to semi-control. 

And so began my deep-dive into the world of getting sleep on planes.
