There is simply no way a 6' 3" guy is going to be able to sleep for more
than 30 minutes on a modern airliner. They are not designed for comfort,
and you will cripple yourself trying.

That a fact? I'm 6'5" and got at least six hours each way between
Auckland and LAX not long ago without benefit of sedatives or alcohol.
