idk mate, I just decide to sleep and eventually I do.
I've never been on a long flight, but on overnight Amtrak routes I can only sleep with earbuds and music
For me it's the gentle lullof the motor and mild sway of the plane. I just can't stay awake if I try
1-2mg of Melatonin, remain motionless with eyes closed for ~20 minutes, you'll be out like a light. Make sure you take a smaller dose - most gummies are 5 or 10 mg, it honestly works better if you subdivide.
Sometimes I can, other times I canβt. Same as in a bed.
But seriously did a lot of night time car trips when I was a kid. I think I was conditioned for car-colepsy. Oddest chair I fell asleep in was during a dental filling.
Business class lie flat seat for long haul flights. Tickets are insanely expensive.. fortunately I have a ton of air miles from company travel. Once you try it there's no going back.
Benzos
Watch a movie on the in-flight entertainment. I can never finish a movie on a plane. No matter what I do, I fall asleep. If I donβt watch anything, I canβt sleep.
Those little neck pillows they board the plane wearing.
Idk I can't sleep on planes either.
Zopiclone, mostly.
Zopiclone baby
I've been on, like, fewer than 50 flights, so I don't think I've slept on one.
