According to Reuters, about 199 countries have started rolling out the vaccines against COVID-19. In fact, in the US, 56% have received their first dose while 48.4% have been fully vaccinated. 

Now, we, in the Philippines, are still far from being the "new normal"–but we are slowly getting to see the light at the end of this long and dark tunnel. And with travel restrictions gently being eased, we can expect foreign and domestic tourists to be booking their flights around the country soon. Like even we can't help but be thrilled at the thought of getting on that plane after what felt like an eternity staying indoors! 

Of course, a long-haul flight will not be complete without your ever-trusted neck pillow that screams only three things: fuN, advEntuRe, and relAxatiOn.

Yes, we (obviously) get that—however, are you sure you are wearing it the right way? Just like how you cook rice or open an avocado, it turns out that there's a proper way to utilize a travel pillow. Wait, what???

In an article published by Mirror, there's a Tiktok user (who goes by the name sidneyraz) who posted a video with the caption, "you can actually sleep on a flight." 

The video, which now has 2M views and 60,000 shares, shows the TikTok user placing the travel pillow in front of his neck and then clipping it at the back.

This only tells the majority of us one thing—we have been doing it wrong all these years!


We are only today years old when we found out about this/ credit: sidneyraz

After a few days, the video had garnered thousands of comments from people who also fell into a downward spiral of confusion. (It's no wonder why most of us get a stiff neck!) 

Here are some of the comments:

Now that we know how to wear it properly, we can sleep soundly during a long flight–that is, unless there's turbulence or crying babies on board.
