I must admit I never fly Y on flights more than 1-2 hours (rarely 3 hours and never international) - so I never recline my seat.

My strategy is to wait until the person in front reclines so I can no longer use the IFE or read a book /magazine, sigh, and recline mine to sit there awake for what feels like the next 29-or-so hours.

I avoid fying Y on overnight flights. On daytime flights, I "half recline" if flight more than 2 hours unless the person in front of me fully reclines, then I will fully recline to "regain" my space.
