Some people can sleep on planes - I am not one of those fortunate people. On my last trip to India, I essentially didn't sleep for 36 hours and went directly from the airport to the office to see our vendor. Nodding off in meetings, my head pounding and unable to construct coherent sentences, I asked our host if there was a place I could lay down for 30 minutes or so. He graciously guided me through a labyrinth of hallways to a beautiful micro-suede couch where I laid my head down for a quick nap. I was awakened by the sound of laughter and whispers as I awoke to find a line of senior executives filing out of the corporate boardroom across from my couch.
