For years now I have worn a cloth mask when sleeping on a redeye flight since it has helped retain moisture so that I don’t wake up dehydrated with an uncomfortably dry mouth due to the plane’s bone dry air. I got the idea originally from JAL’s business class, which hands out masks with moisture pads as part of its amenity kit. Have now used a cloth mask on 20+ international flights while sleeping, all pre-COVID, and have experienced zero issues.
