Being Awake And Staying Awake - versus - Being Told "You Need Sleep!" {HRI note 20060907}

wrote: In the old days, staying awake was more a matter of life and death, as you had to manually fly the plane at all times. Today, with autopilot, you could drift off and survive, if you were lucky. So how does one avoid it? Or is it just not a good idea to fly long distances on one's own in an aircraft? You could break the flight up into shorter hops, landing to walk around or take a short nap. Is it legal to listen to music? (I'm not a pilot, so I don't know.) -- Bill Funk replace "g" with "a"
