I'm not sure what to attribute it to... not enough sleep, dehydration, not moving around, all of the above...

Wondering if anyone else gets these and if you have an idea what could be causing it.

Thanks
I felt very lightheaded, hot and a bit queezy on a recent BA flight from LAX, . Mentioned it to one of the FAs and they asked me to lie down on one of the crew seats with my feet above my head (resting on the door). A minute later I felt so much better. The FA said it happens all the time
