Haha, well, I have the opposite problem - I can't fall asleep for the life of me when traveling. I'm also going to be on a 16 hour flight in December when I fly to Hong Kong (preceeded by a 2hr flight to Chicago, actually), and then the reverse on the way home. I plan on bringing books to keep me company, but the problem is that I tend to read quickly - so I can read a whole book in about 3 or 4 hours of solid reading, depending upon the length (example: when flying home from Switzerland, I read all of Harry Potter 6 on the cross-Atlantic flight).

Sometimes I'll try talking to people on the flights, but for the most part, I'm just interested in reading my book, not starting a five hour long conversation with a total stranger. That's not to say I haven't done it, but it's rare. As for sleeping on someone, or having them sleep on me, I know I drool when I sleep Perhaps if the lady in question slept with her head in my lap, I'd be open to the idea, but I don't know about sleeping on my shoulder - that seems to me like it'd slowly drive me crazy as well as being uncomfortable.
