I prefer the ailse, but I am not a very good flyer, the older I get the worse I am. I hate taking off. I hate it when the person in front of you, puts their seat back.

Aisle, but its not a big preference - I'm a shrimp and can fit anywhere.
Do not get the row in front of the emergency row (or the first emegency row if there are two) - the seat will not recline to keep the exit row from being blocked in any manner.
And if I'm going to sleep, the back of the plane is just fine - the turbines provide a nice drowning out of other noises.... and helps conceal any snoring I may do.

I see the majority of people here sleeping or wanting to sleep. I've never been able to sleep on a plane.
Other than obvious overseas dealies, aren't most flights like 90 minutes? Is it worth trying to sleep?

It took a while to get used to sleeping on a flight, but after a while it becomes quite easy - even on a 90 minute flight. One time I was headed from the twin cities to home (STL), fell asleep while we were taxiing to the runway prior to takeoff and didn't wake up until the wheels touched down in STL. Best flight evar!

When you live in Utah it's four hours to anywhere.

I have a hard time sleeping on domestic flights without "sedatives". It also seems that right about the time I nod off somebody elbows me, puts their chair back into my knees, etc....
