  Exactly. Or then having to stuff your bag in a space no where near you…good luck getting anything out of it you need.
context: Lol at waiting in a line vs. waiting in a seat. At least, there’s progress when in a line. I’d rather sit in the plane instead of at the gate. >
  
  Everyone takes off at the same time. I’d rather spend as little time in a crowded airplane seat as possible. >
  
  Sleeping on plane is like teleporting.
  You can start sleeping earlier than everyone else and ... you have now arrived your destination.

  Personally I don't sleep for 20-30 hours before hopping on a 10 hrs+ plane so I can just sleep like a pig during the whole flight. Preparation is the key to enjoy the long flight. >
  
  This is me! After the thrill of takeoff, I'm out. If It is an International flight with meal service I'll set an alarm for that, otherwise, SLEEP! >
  
  As you said, overhead storage. >
  
  I’d rather get to my seat sooner.  Get settled in, get my headphones in.  If I can fall asleep sooner, even better.
  The sooner I get to my seat, the longer time I have undisturbed between boarding and unboarding. >
  
  i agree. the only downside is that you risk not getting any space in the overhead compartment.
