A survey shows that pilots often fall asleep during flight


Street Survey
Are you a night owl or an early bird?

HENRY: That is a diffucult question for us pilots. I would say, that is more a question of altitudes.

When the plane is more than 25,000 feet above sea level I always fall asleep, but once we go below 25,000 feet I automatically wake up. The sleep / wakeup altitude can vary from pilot to pilot.

And I can guarantee that it is absolutely safe. There's no way that I accidently can access any of the instruments during my sleep.
