Odd. My experience has been the exact opposite.
I still vividly recall a red-eye several years ago where one kid howled every hour or so, jarring everyone within range awake. That kid was a prime candidate for sedation.
As for adults, with the exception of one guy who was a jerk on the ground but fine in the air, I haven't noticed any problems at all.
