  1. Right now I am struggling to move through this morning due to some sort of sleeping pill hangover. Last night I took an Advil PM so I could fall sleep at a reasonable hour.  This little pill didn’t put me to sleep, it knocked me the F out for 12 hours!  As I plan my escape to the other side of the world next week, I’m wondering what I should bring with me so I can sleep peacefully for 8 hours and NOT feel like this when I wake up.  Jet lag is hard enough without this added element! Going to London and China I used Ambien which worked well.  But on one trip to London, it failed to knock me out, and I had to suffer with a massive headache for the 11 hour flight.  While in living in London, I bought some over-the-counter sleep aids which are JUST the right dosage, but they sell them in the US unfortunately.  Back in the day when I hoped the pond several times a year I had a nice little stash, but that is long gone. Lunesta is the other one people like.  I’ve heard Valium from others.  Tylenol PM never works for me at home so I don’t see how it could be effective on a plane. I’m the kind of person who hates taking pills, especially ones that aren’t natural.  I usually don’t even take an aid when I get a headache.So, this is a predicament for me.  Any thoughts??? What works for you??

    1. lizatfolly answered: I also prefer melatonin. I’ve seen them in 1, 2, and 3 mg. pills. I usually do 1-2 of 1 mg. when I’m having trouble getting to sleep.
    2. christinahahaha answered: Celestial Seasonings extra sleeptyime tea has Valerium in it, which works really well for some people!
    3. vbtwns answered: I use melatonin. I cut the pills in half (using a pill cutter) and it’s enough for me to sleep for a solid 6 hour so.
    4. hellandheartaches answered: Melatonin…all natural and works(for me). I prefer the version that dissolves in your mouth than capsules
    5. caity88 answered: my tried and true red-eye trick is half an Ambien (for flights under 5.5 hrs, a whole one for longer flights), and a beer at the airport bar.
    6. beingbreezy answered: I’ve heard good things about melatonin. It’s natural so might be worth a shot. :)
