I found a device on a website a few months ago. When you’re flying, you HANG IT OVER YOUR SEAT and it keeps your head locked in place so that you can sleep without your head bobbing or rolling. This was NOT “the Aerosleeper”. Now I can’t find it. ANY help finding this item would be so greatly appreciated I can’t even tell you.
