What's the difference? Like how does the width of the body have any impact on me? I'm asleep in my seat the whole time either way. I'm not pacing side to side!

Not only is it wider, but it's taller. At least for me, all else being equal, widebodies feel far less cramped just because there is much more room inside. It's a bigger difference than a regional jet versus a mainline narrowbody.

Are you flying standing up?

When you have long flights it's nice to have space to walk around the cabin, go to the back and have a drink etc.
Also I feel like even if you are sitting the whole time, there's a difference in perception between sitting in a small confined space vs sitting in a space that is larger.

I said they feel far less cramped.
