I love these articles from the Washington Post with lists! In this one they tell us, "Overnight flights are basically giant sleepover parties with strangers. Here's how to behave." Interesting. And yes, I have been on more than one late-night flight, so let's see …
Rule 1: Don't act like this is your living room couch
Rule 2: Dim the lights and lower the volume
Rule 3: No pajamas and absolutely no bare feet
Rule 4: No stinky midnight snacks
Rule 5: Don't hog the lavatory for your nightly routine
Rule 6: Handle your snoring seatmate tactfully
Rule 7: No talking or playing with the window shade
In all honesty, I don't think I've ever encountered anything more troublesome on a late-night flight than a crying toddler—and you know, that can't be helped. In most cases, everyone else wants to try to rest, at least, with their eyes closed.
But I do have one more suggestion (not a rule!) for those of you who can afford a splurge: travel in business class or first class. You'll have plenty of room to relax and sleep, and fewer folks to share the lavatory with.
