Me, too. I've flown LAX-JFK on the redeyes so that I can at least recline and get some shut-eye. If I'm completely exhausted, I can fall asleep sitting staight up in a 738 or 757 seat, but normally, I fall asleep (and stay asleep) much better in the 762 J or F (preferrably F) seat. I've even purchased separate tickets JFK-BOS/IAD/DCA on AA or B6 when I can't get award seats on the short segments (for those times I find milesAAver Z for LAX-JFK).
