Lateral sleep systems for aircraft are disclosed. A first lateral sleep apparatus is positioned on a first side of a divider adjacent a first seat, the lateral sleep apparatus includes a first headrest and a first cradle. The first cradle supports the first headrest and includes a first panel mounting interface coupling the first headrest to a first support ledge of the divider. A second lateral sleep apparatus is positioned on a second side of the divider adjacent a second seat, where the second lateral sleep apparatus includes a second headrest and a second cradle. The second cradle supports the second headrest and includes a second panel mounting interface coupling the second headrest to a second support ledge of the divider.

Lateral sleep systems for aircraft

Lateral sleep systems for aircraft are disclosed. A divider is located between a first seat and a second seat of the aircraft. The divider includes a first panel oriented toward the first seat and a second panel oriented toward the second seat. The first panel defines a first support ledge. The second panel defines a second support ledge. A first lateral sleep apparatus positioned on a first side of the divider adjacent the first seat includes a first headrest and a first cradle. The first cradle supports the first headrest and includes a first panel mounting interface coupling the first headrest to the first support ledge. A second lateral sleep apparatus positioned on a second side of the divider adjacent the second seat includes a second headrest and a second cradle. The second cradle supports the second headrest and includes a second panel mounting interface coupling the second headrest to the second support ledge.

Sleep systems for aircraft are disclosed. An example sleep system includes a divider having a plurality of panels, each panel defining a pocket, and a lateral sleep apparatus positioned adjacent a seat, the lateral sleep apparatus to be positioned at least partially in the pocket of the panel.
