On a recent flight from O'Hare back to SFO on an A320, I saw the FA gently woke up the guy sitting in 2A twice when his mask slipped down and did not cover his nose. I appreciate the FA's enforcement of this policy as it makes the flying experience safer for all passengers onboard during the pandemic.
I also reminded a FA who forgot to put his mask on when started the service. He apparently forgot it, then put it back quickly and said "Thank you" to me with a smile.

Hadn't even considered this question since I'm not currently flying TATL or TPAC and Boraxo don't do domestic redeyes. But it's a fair question as I can't imagine a paper mask is comfortable for side sleepers. OTOH I have no trouble sleeping with a mask over my eyes, so i suppose a soft cloth mouth mask or gaiter might be tolerable. Maybe it is something to practice at home LOL. But largely academic, I expect, for those of us who don't want to share a metal tube with strangers for hours.

In Polaris I’ve managed to build a little fort/tent out of the duvet and sleep under that. Best lately was Emirates new F suite. Like flying normally until the doors open!

I've always felt the polaris hard product seats (window) were already kind of fort like. It's pretty "deep" when you are laying down. Kind of like a coffin.

I took night flights from SFO to HNL last week, and both sets of crew made the rounds to make sure masks remained on and over the nose.
On the westbound flight, they asked people who weren't actively eating or drinking to put on their mask and reminded someone who tried to use snacking as a loophole that United "had a one warning system" and that additional observed non-compliance would lead to loss of traveling privileges on the airline.
On the eastbound flight (the redeye), they woke people up, including a gentleman who wore a bandana as a mask (he looked like a Wild West highwayman) if the mask fell below the nose.
