Aside from sleeping overnight in an airport, there’s also a bit of a “life hack” a friend taught me: lay on the ground with your calves and feet up on a chair. Elevating your feet makes for a very soothing and relaxing nap/rest/meditation session, it’s a great antidote to the stress of an airport. (You do look a little weird, but learning to tolerate looking a little weird in public is potentially a useful skill too)

Except for the people who were part of the "Earplugs Club", of which I am a proud member, whenever I go to airports (well, okay, I use Airpods Pro 2 and turn noise cancellation on, same thing though).
