Night time cabin announcement - help needed

[Juud]

Hi there, here's what I say.
Oh and by the way, in our company we never ask passengers to switch of their lights. Don't think many companies do that actually. It is after all up to a passenger of he or she wishes the light on for any reason, and passenger lights are individual after all.
What we do, is when we walk through the cabin and see a light on with a sleeping passenger under it, we turn it off.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, due to the passing of time zones on this flight, the sun will rise in x hours from now. To give everybody a chance to sleep a little, please lower your window shades."

This has the desired effect on about 60% of the pax. The rest have either not heard, not understood, are already alseep or can't be bothered. So after this announcement we walk down the whole cabin through both aisles, armed with a coat hangar as 'arm extender' to close the shades of sleeping pax, and to personally ask the pax who haven't closed the shades yet to do so.

Good luck with your project.
