WEell when you get almost 5 hours of solid sleep, then yes. 
The new 757 seats are great, if you can sleep in 'em. Perfectly positioned, was asleep no more than 10 minutes after wheels up to right at wheels down @ JFK.
MikeMpls will enjoy how I met the other FT'ers... they were .....ing about the award calendar and how much they'd miss NWA.com for awards. I agreed and at one point, one of 'em said "wait... are you a FlyerTalker".

One of my coworkers (lurker, no handle) "made" me in a lounge in AMS a couple weeks ago. He'd been sitting two seats behind me on MSP-AMS, and I caught up with him later in the lounge. Something I said must have rung a bell: Are you MikeMpls?

I gave Tobias a proper christian name based on Hebrew "Tobijah", which means "God is Good". Tobias is a greek version of Tobijah.
