In the old days when Southwest was still fun, the FA's often would start that demo with the statement, "For those of you who have not ridden in a car since 1974, here is how to buckle your seatbelt...." As you probably know, the FAA still actually requires this silly demo.
I hate to say this, but even given the annual occurrence of one or two clear air turbulence events, if I am on a long flight and need to sleep, often it just can't be done comfortably in a C seat while the belt is attached.
