"It might sound weird, but if I was a woman and something like that happened, I wouldn't/couldn't fall asleep again after the first time..."
Well, this was the 0500h out of Astana, so we were up all night packing, she left for the airport at 0300 with no sleep at all.
Also, the first time, it was a minor "accidental" brush, she shrugged it off as a coincidence, the second time it became really suspicious, and after the third time including the safety belt, I doubt she closed an eye.
