Why falling asleep on an airplane can be risky (for health)

Sleeping is undoubtedly good, especially the eight hours of the night, and even more you are a woman, but when instead we go for a simple nap or a nap, we should be more careful about when and where! Well yes, because once you get on the plane, choose the best seat, it would be better not to fall asleep too soon ... especially on a plane like this, look:

When it is best not to fall asleep

Takeoff and landing would be the worst times for a nap. Yes, those who do not experience the plane with anxiety and disturbance even prefer to fall asleep during these two moments, which seem to almost rock the body, a bit like it happened when a child in a car. Well, these are the worst times to relax.

Why it is better to stay awake

At risk during these two phases are the Eustachian tubes, the tubes in the ears, which run from head to nostrils. This delicate part of our ears needs to adapt to the change in pressure to avoid discomfort (a classic one is the feeling that the ear is blocked). While sleeping, nothing can be done to reduce or rebalance the air pressure in the ears. What could happen? In addition to the occlusion, the traveler may experience bothersome symptoms such as confusion, possible ear infections, and in cases severe damage to the eardrum or, worse than worst, nosebleed. While awake it will be possible to yawn or chew something, or swallow with a stuffy nose, or blow your nose, to avoid damage.
