Also, be sure to take a small flashlight so you can see around your seat in the dark without turning on overhead lights. You'll need to locate your shoes if you need to go to the lav while everyone's sleeping.
I change into pajamas on all overnight long-haul business and first flights. And for many daytime flights, too, since I will often sleep for a couple of hours. If the carrier provides pajamas (almost all in first, a few in business), I'll wear their pajamas. If not, I'll bring my own. I generally bring pajamas from another flight and try to stay within the same alliance if not the same carrier. I have been known to bring a T-shirt and some pajama pants instead, most notably one time flying BA J. My friends thought it was fun that a 30-something would be an AARP member just to save on airfare, so they bought me a shirt that said AARP on the front in the style of the AC/DC logo. They were pleased that I wore it on board.
