You simply don't know when you're going to be on a flight with a night owl, an uncomfortable baby, a couple being giggly/amorous, or someone who has insomnia.
Or rude, loud, obnoxious, self-rightous passengers on a purported 90-minute flight who "refuse to be intimidated" and quiet their conversation so as to be civil and polite in public.
