If you’re the type of person who always wishes there were more than 24 hours in a day, chances are that you would rather not fall asleep while flying on business trips. The time you spend in the air would be better put to use reviewing contracts and deal memos rather than taking a nap or watching a movie.
However, if you tend to get sleepy on planes, here are some tips to help you be more productive and avoid falling asleep when you have vital matters to attend to.
If you’re flying for business purposes, it’s likely that many of your fellow passengers are also on travel for their company. Why not take this time to network with them? That’s a suggestion from a recent article at Road Warrior Voices. If you engage in conversation with the person sitting next to you in business class, you may find that you have more in common.
The conversation might even lead to a new business connection. Be mindful of indications that the passenger wants to be left alone, though. Don’t push conversation on an unwilling participant!
Bring your own healthy snacks in your carryon luggage. Eating the sugar-laden treats handed out in airplane flights can make your less productive, as you will face a crash after the sugar wears off.
Pack some essential oils, such as lemon, orange or rosemary and take a whiff during the flight to get a boost of energy. Scents like these can be as invigorating as splashing cold water on your face, and you won’t get the jittery feelings caused by consuming too much caffeine.
Make sure to get a decent night’s sleep the day before your flight. The more rested you are, the more you will be able to accomplish in the air.
Do you prefer to work while in transit, rather than taking a nap or enjoying music or videos? If so, the team at Regency Transportation is sure that these tips will help you become more productive.
