Nervous flyer What is wrong with me

Regarding DVT, I think the risk increases when you are sitting with your legs bent at the knee.  I assume that being awake only helps if you consciously move your legs around from time to time or get up to walk to the loo.  I can't imagine that being asleep changes the risk much compared to sitting in the same position while awake.

Lying flat with your legs more or less straight decreases the risk.
