And clips of passengers who've filmed themselves doing it have recently gone viral. TikTok user @westwashere boasted that he endured seven and nine-hour flights 'only watching the maps and airspeed' - and Dalton Roe ( @deathroe90 ) claimed that when he rawdogs, he doesn't even eat.
He captioned his video: 'Just rawdogged a flight from Orlando to LA, no water, no snacks, no music or entertainment, seat fully upright. The power of the mind has no limits.' Sound like a nightmare? Psychologists reveal that this practice actually has many benefits, from 'sparking creativity' to 'lowering anxiety'.
