Lack of sleep may be deadly

Lol! And they needed to research this to come to this conclusion? All they had to do was observe me after sleep deprivation of 12hrs and that’s not saying much! I am not a happy bunny at all!! The immigration officers have been at the receiving end of my tirades - usually after long haul flights when I find it damn hard to get to sleep. Plus there are so many in-flight movies to browse through; it's like unleashing a child into a toy store. That's the only time I am parked in one place long enough. Has anybody realised that these in-flight movies are programmed just so that just when you've come to the movie you really really want to watch, you are told you the remaining flight time will not be sufficient for you to finish watching it. I swear it must just be me. The sleeping pills don't work on my system - they usually do this delayed trick on me and kick start 24hrs when I am off the flight and really need to be awake and alert.
One option is I guess to convince someone to give me their upgrade points so I get to fly business or first class, yeah and I just saw one pig flying by...
