Melatonin puts me to sleep at home, but gives me the craziest dreams so I never use it.

I would fall asleep in the car driving 10 minutes to the grocery store as a kid, and that hasn't really changed. I can fall asleep pretty easily sitting up in a plane seat or bent over lying on the tray table. It's usually not a good, restful sleep though

Wouldn't know. But I would guess not great, even in lay flat first I have trouble sleeping on a plane.

Flying economy on the OT? Is this a joke?

I doze but I never really sleep on a plane

Unless I have to work, powering through a season of a TV show is my preference

I took 2 ambien on the flight back from Hawaii and never fell asleep. I HATE airports and airplanes (really just the people, I have nothing against buildings and machines)

I will nod off exhausted for a few minutes but can’t “sleep” on a plane.

Why sleep on long flights? That is prime going through everyone's carry-on and stealing their shite time.

Not at all. I’ve tried Xanax & melatonin, but never manage to fall asleep.

This, and for some reason I can only sleep if I can actually do it before take-off.

Business class seats. Preferably with the reverse herringbone configuration for more privacy.
