Staying sane on a cramped longhaul flight ?

Hi,
My wife & I have just booked a week in Cancun for next weekend, and I've today discovered that it's a Monarch A330 in a 'sardine tin' configuration of 3-3-3.
I get very stiff, achey and grumpy sat in cattle-class on european destinations, but this one's ELEVEN hours from LGW. I predict I may explode or go insane.
I've only ever flown longhaul once before to Cuba in a DC10 and that was almost unbearable - and that had better seat pitches than what I'm about to endure.
Anyone have any tips on keeping comfortable, sane or unconcious ?
