Why did woman sleep inside plane's luggage compartment? Everyone is confused

The woman was filmed lying in the hand luggage compartment above the heads of other passengers. The video of this unusual event has received over 5.1 million views on TikTok .

The clip shows the unnamed passenger making herself comfortable in the overhead bin, appearing to be getting ready for bed. The video ended with other passengers laughing and looking surprised at this unusual sight.

It is unclear who the napping person was or what prompted her to use the overhead locker as a place to sleep. This unusual sight sparked numerous comments on the internet, including questions about the woman's motivation and how she ended up in the compartment, as well as numerous jokes about seats other than those on Southwest airlines.

Surprisingly, this isn't the first time someone has decided to take a nap in the overhead bin. Last year, a Ryanair passenger shocked others when he was filmed waking up in the overhead bin on a flight from Ibiza, Spain.

In 2019, a Southwest Airlines flight attendant surprised passengers by locking herself in an overhead bin on a plane at Nashville International Airport in Tennessee.
