I often travel to Africa, India and South America, so managing an overnight flight that leads into a long workday is a core competency. Managing sleep is a science. I stay away from alcohol and eat before I board, so mealtime doesn’t eat into snooze time. Don’t rely on airline ear plugs; bring wax ear plugs and a cashmere sweater, or African kikoi—it’s like a warm shawl—to wrap yourself up like a little mummy. On a long day flight, use the time in a fun way—for research and think time, mulling over the creative stuff you can never focus on with all the interruptions in a workday. On a return trip, I’ll also do a Headspace meditation. It’s a lifesaver to relieve the flat panic of the brain, especially good for re-entry into family life after a hard trip.

Long flights are a mixed blessing—grueling and uncomfortable but also a total respite from the outside world, when I enter another zone where nothing is expected of me. I have a healthy meal beforehand, like salad or hummus, and I don’t drink the night before, so I feel fresh when boarding. I take along healthy snacks—tangerines, apples, nuts and Valrhona dark chocolate with almonds—and a Uniqlo ultralight down jacket, to stay warm or use as a pillow. If I am up for entertainment, I get into a gripping podcast, like “The Assassination” about Benazir Bhutto, or “Intrigue: The Ratline,” about the family of a Nazi. I wiled away a recent trip to China watching “Chernobyl” and didn’t want the flight to end because it was such an amazing series! Good storytelling helps you pass the time.

Typically, I get some good food in me—definitely vegetables—and then I gauge how tired I am. I always bring my sketchbook with me on flights and draw shoes, something I’ve done since I was young. I also may watch film [of the opposing team] if we have a game coming up, or a movie: The most recent one was “6 Underground” on the team plane. I wear recovery tights to reduce swelling in my legs. Because of that, I always wear long pants, even if we are traveling to warm cities. And then I need a hoodie to put over my head in order to sleep. It’s about getting a little peace of mind, so whatever does that for you, use it. Nothing too crazy.
