2-3 non-sugary drinks plus a melatonin (which i never take regularly) work wonders. Bring good earplugs - the soft, squishy kind. And of course, try to get that business upgrade - i found the latter to work the most :)
- raverbashing 11y agoMelatonin (to me) are a bad sleep aid. It definitely helps you sleep, but it's a weird sleep
- jrowley 11y agoI agree on the melatonin front. I prefer a couple of whiskeys and a benadryl for long flights.
- twoodfin 11y agoI used to be in this camp, too, but beware of DVT if you knock yourself out cold in a cramped position for hours.
- weaksauce 11y agoYou don't need much and a lot of the OTC pills are way too much and cause that odd sleep. Iirc Some pills are 50mg of the stuff and you only need ~1mg to get useful effects. Any more and you risk bad dreams and other weird effects.
- niccaluim 11y agoYes, I've been to a sleep specialist and they told me the same thing. Anything over 1mg is far too much. And you really have to look to find the 1mg bottles.
- weaksauce 11y agoYeah, I found a bottle with 3mg pills that i just cut down to ~1mg or less size. seems to work fine when I really need to get to sleep.
- ericd 11y agoTrader Joes sells .5 mg peppermint tasting ones that work well for me.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoThis would explain why my 5mg pills are causing me terrible sleep problems.
