[The Mook 105]

I take 2 Tylenol PM with the first meal and

that usually provides 5 - 6 hours of sleep.

Melatonin helps you sleep and gets u over jet lag sooner. (at least for me.)

[Sailfast 503]

Ambien. Rx needed though.

The general view is that Melatonin does help you adjust to the day/night cycle better.

 

I am not clear how this helps somebody traveling to Pattaya or Las Vegas :-)

10m days in vegas with little or no sleep, then get on plane and sleep all way to thr UK, even missing brekkie, then get flight to bahrain, again sleep all the way, then hit the bar there while on a 3hr layover, getting as many double vodkas down as possible on top of no food, get on plane an sleep till BKK, 3 great flights this time lol

[Kev 173]

Have a few beers before flight, eat food, then turn off hearing aid and go to sleep.

 

Wakeup just before landing.

If you were listening to Enya I wouldn't think you'd need the diazepams.

11 hours from Heathrow to Bangkok inside tin can is bad;

How you guys cope with 17 hours of flying from the States: I don't know how you do it:

I think you deserve a Medal:(Or free drugs)

That must be one hell flight, Unless you are Business Class:

But i guess them Thai Girls are sure worth it:

My flight from PDX (Portland , Oregon, USA) to BKK was 20 hours and then the trip to Pattaya was another 2, and the quick unpack of the bags and out the door to lookie loo... Id say i was up 30 hours at the least.

I cant sleep on planes.. So i just sat and watched all the movies they had playing that were of intrest.. even tried some of those silly games they have. Lots of music and lots of movies is the only way i get by.

Sleep.. whats that..

The 17 hr direct flight from JFK is a piece of cake compared to some of the flights with connections. First trip I booked the cheapest flight that changed in Chicago, then Toyko...After 26 hrs I thought I was gonna die on the way over. On the way back...snow storm in Chicago, you can imagine the hell I went through....

 

Now the problem is that the Thaiair flight from JFK is getting pricey

[rascall 130]

I can never sleep on the flight over. Normally wie awake and stiff with erotic thoughts. Have even gone into the loo for a pull before the plane has crossed the English Channell.

Melatonin is the chemical in the brain that causes drowsiness and plays a big part in your sleeping cycles. With more of this in your system you get drowsy and can go to sleep.

 

You could therefore use it to artificially adjust your circadian cycle to match a different timezone. But as you imply, you are going to be awake at some pretty funny hours anyway in Pattaya and Las Vegas.

 

In light of this, you could also use 5-HTP, which I might give a shot on the trip over. 5-HTP breaks down into 5-HT (serotonin) which then breaks down into melatonin. Big dose of 5-HTP, you will get drowsy from the excess melatonin and wake up happy as due to the serotonin. Fuck me, this I will HAVE to try for my flight BACK!

A couple of weeks ago I flew BKK to Singapore-less than one hour stopover then Singapore to Manchester non - stop (13 and half hours) drinks,meal then 2 tabs and sleep until woken up over Vienna for breakfast-fantastic no jet lag whatsoever

this may be controversial but i find a mere half tablet of flunitrazepam (rohypnol) is brilliant for sleeping on a plane...no metallic taste like zopiclone, no headache's like valium...just sleep and a clear head afterwards...lots of bad press oviously about the drug, but if used correctly and not often i find it to be brilliant.

Yes,business class is the only way to go...pleasantly surprised when my American Airlines flight from Chicago to Tokyo was the "new" remodeled 777.They made the business class seats recline to a flat bed like position.What a delight to sleep flat!Took a Xanex after my second glass of Chard....the second leg from Tokyo to Bangkok was not as relaxing as I was back to economy and no leg room on a ANA flight.Oh well,still slept and was ready to go all night upon arrival...had the lux van meet me at the airport for a smooth ride to town...MM

[brotherbuzz 3,196]

For me....... 1 window seat + 2 Tylenol PM's + ear plugs = 6-10 hours of sleep.

[vidman 2]

On Emirates biz class they give you noise-reduction headphones....actually a bit spooky being so quiet tho!

I se movies on my computer until I get tired and sleep. No sleeping pills required.
