The Pilot’s Cockpit, Where Living Is Easy…

Believe it or not, pilots do sleep mid-flight, and they are allowed to catch some snooze time. They do have to follow strict rules before slipping into slumber, though, either by going for the ‘Controlled Rest” or “Bunk Rest” options.

Above we see the pilot chose the Controlled Rest option, and he’s enjoying a shut-eye session right at the cockpit. It must have been a short flight, otherwise, he would’ve gone for the Bunk rest option and slept in the passenger cabin on a seat specifically reserved for pilots. We now have a better understanding of what’s going on in the photo above, and it no longer gives us anxiety.
