Margeaux,
where on here have any cabin crew written that they want the pax to sleep during the day to make their day easier..??
I am crew and I actually wrote that you should NOT be asked to pull the blinds down during the day..
I have sed that if it's going to be a short night, then yes I would suggest to pax sitting by the window they may want to pull the blinds down, and explain why. By no means is it an order, but I think it's a good idea, for the majority of the pax...
It makes no difference to me whether the pax are awake or asleep, if we run out of food and drink, then so it.. no skin off my nose... If it's busy like that, it makes the time pass quicker for me...
Chill......................
