Taking an in-flight nap is a real treat — if you can pull it off.
Most of us fly in the economy cabin, where reclining your seat can be seen as an act of malice, and people literally fight over armrests. Some folks rock the travel pillow around their neck, but even that can be awkward and uncomfortable.

There’s a Hack for That
TikTok to the rescue! User @sidneyraz caused a stir recently when he pointed out that “travel pillows go in front.”

How to Really Wear a Travel Pillow
Mind officially blown. And apparently I’m not alone: The video racked up over 34.3 million views, 5 million likes and hundreds of comments.
How did we miss this? It makes total sense. With the neck opening facing your back, the bulky pillow doesn’t smoosh against the seat and force your neck into an awkward position. Instead, as @sidneyraz demonstrates, you’ve got 360-degree support for your noggin. Snoozing is a snap!

Other Epic Life Hacks
A quick spin through @sidneyraz’s profile reveals dozens of little tips and ideas he dubs “things I should’ve known before I was in my 30s.” Like this one: You can erase permanent marker with dry erase marker.
What? Wow.

How to Cut an Avocado
Or you can keep a cut avocado fresh and not-brown by storing the unused half in a little bowl of water.

Why it Works
Which makes sense: Exposure to oxygen is what causes the unsightly-but-harmless brown discoloration to appear. Still, I had never even considered this! (And I am, uh, no longer in my 30s.)

How to Line a Bread Tin
Finally, there’s an incredibly easy trick to properly line a bread tin with aluminum foil. Brace yourself.

Why It Works
Of course, you can always just stick the foil in there and poke and prod it into place. But when I’m worried about a sticky loaf, I’ll do any little thing I can to take the pressure off.

‘Adulting’ Better with TikTok
Much like @sidneyraz here, I find myself exasperated by my own ignorance at basic “adulting” skills. Perhaps I need to grab my travel pillow and take a newly comfy nap.
