All I need is the air that I breathe......

....to sleep!!  I don't remember the air in a plane being so dry before.  You get warned all the time about pressurised cabin air and its desiccating and dehydrating effects. It normally doesn't affect me so much, but this time I really felt it. Despite the luxury of a first class suite, I found the air to be  hot and dry, so much so that my nostrils kept drying out, and while I did sleep, every time I woke up my mouth was so dry my tongue was sticking to the roof of my mouth!  There is a personal mini bar in the suite so I drank it dry of all types of water and juice! I did only have one glass of champagne at the start! Oh, and a G&T before dinner, and one glass of red wine with dinner!  I don't usually drink much alcohol on planes for that very reason of dehydration!

I have always loved the pseudo night sky that Emirates have in their long-haul aircraft.  It looks so pretty even though I suspect nobody is ever taken in believing it helps them sleep!  Even on a true flat-lying bed with a fluffy doona and groovy updated soft cotton PJs to keep you warm!
