Try this simple hack for falling asleep quickly on flights

A psychologist has revealed a simple trick to help you fall asleep quickly on airplanes. Psychologist Erica Terblanche calls the technique 'crossing the alpha bridge' and says it can help you fall asleep 'pretty much anywhere.' Terblanche has described four simple steps to falling asleep, with most people successfully using this technique on the first try. Step one: Start by sitting or lying comfortably, close your eyes, and count to 30. Step two: Open your eyes a 'small slit like a crescent moon and count to 5.' Step three: Repeat the first step, close your eyes, and count to 30. Step four: Open your eyes again to a 'crescent moon sliver and count to 5,' then close them again. Terblanche emphasizes focusing on breathing in and out through the nose. Most people fall asleep after the first cycle, but if not, repeat it, and it will surely work after one or two more attempts.
