WATCH: Is this the new sleeping position you should try on your next flight?

Having no one sitting next to you in a flight can have many perks. You don’t have to deal with the person’s unnecessary banter, their snoring or unusual flight habits.

For one passenger, the vacant seat next to her meant that she could get much-needed rest. The passenger in questions had social media divided after she was recorded in a rather uncompromising position.

In a video posted by Passenger Shaming on Instagram, the passenger laid her head down on one seat while her legs were placed on the airplane window. Judging from the short clip, the passenger had no care in the world and did not care that her sleeping position was captured by her fellow passengers.

Passenger Shaming, voted Rolling Stone Magazine's "100 Best Instagram Accounts", shares some of the bad habits that passengers have onboard a plane, and this video received over 280 000 views. Passengers shared their views on the sleeping position with some labelling it “sickening.”
