Because without an autopilot, and being alone in the plane, he had to remain awake to fly the plane and avoid crashing.
Charles Lindbergh stayed awake during his solo transatlantic flight in 1927 by taking short naps, no longer than 30 minutes at a time. He also consumed sandwiches, coffee, and water to help him stay alert during the 33-hour journey from New York to Paris. Lindbergh's focus, determination, and physical conditioning also played a crucial role in keeping him awake during the historic flight.

On 7:52 am May 20th, 1927 Charles Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris. His plane was the Spirit of St. Louis. This plane was 28 feet in length, it had a 46 feet wingspan, and it carried 450 gallons of fuel. This was the first trans-Atlantic flight made. Charles Lindbergh decided not to have a navigator during the trip. He decided this because he wanted to carry more fuel. So he flew by reckoning and used local library maps. This trip took 33 hours, 29 minutes, and 30 seconds. His main problem to overcome was fatigue. He had a small turbulence built into the plane to keep him awake. Sometimes he stuck his head out the window to feel the cool air which would also keep him awake. He landed at Le Bourget Field outside Paris at 10:24 Paris Time on May 21st.
