I can fall asleep on short two hour flights if I'm tired enough.

Overseas flights are possibly the most boring things in the world. The worst is the screen on the bulkhead wall that shows the progress of the flight. An Ambien or Valium is the only way to deal with the length of captivity. Just go to sleep and the time will "fly by".

I sleep easily on any flights. I usually get tired easily due to delays especially on overseas flight with several short transits. I would choose the back seat at the windows nearer the turbine engine. There I would doze off nicely with my bad snooring camouflaged by the sound from the engine.

Yes (with difficulty/fear).
Though the difficulty/fear isn't the aeroplane/seating/flight but the fear of breaking wind in public while sleeping.

Haha, well just remember you're more likely to be killed by lightning or an alligator than on a jet.

I didn't sleep a wink on my last one, and passed out as soon as I landed with my forehead on the back of the seat in front of me on the buss. I looked like a fool with a big red imprint on my face when we arrived and I woke up

My neice could be heard snoring loudly on our shuttle from the airport to our hotel so I can relate! The first time I flew abroad we went to sleep and I had the worse jetlag, it took me days to get sorted out. This last time, we forced ourselves to stay awake and the next day we were fine!
