Sleeping on long flights - What's the secret?

Hi,

I'm going on some long flights soon, and would
really like to do some sleeping during the flights.

But somehow, I can't seem to get comfortable enough
to get to sleep. I'm 6'3" 280 lbs, and the tiny
seats are -very- uncomfortable after a few hours.
(can't afford 1st class)

Can anyone suggest a method or even proper drugs
I can use to get to sleep so the flights don't seem
so long?

Thanks for answering here...

Get your doctor to prescribe a mild sedative - something like tamazepam
or serepax. Most doctors seem happy to do this, on the grounds that it's
much better for your health for you to get some sleep, than to arrive at
your destination feeling like death that's still waiting to be warmed up.

You wouldn't sleep through an emergency though - the adrenaline would
see to that.

** Yeah, Sylvia is right for once - no way known you can continue
sleeping onboard a Boeing 747 while being sucked out the side of the plane
by a massive decompression and converted into mice meat by the starboard
inboard engine.

A real "once in a lifetime" experience that one !!!!!

Thank you for that glowing endorcement, Phil.

I don't know whether this got across or not, but my point about the
emergency is that a person might have concerns that they'd be too zonked
out to look after their own welfare, for example in an evacuation. I'm
just saying that won't happen (assuming dosage rules are obeyed).

No - read it again, the person's doctor would do the prescribing.

Try to arrange your trips so that you don't absolutely have to sleep on the
plane. Then you'll be less wound up about having to sleep. Use foam
earplugs, eyeshades and one of those inflatable neck pillows. Depending on
length of trip and whether you can avoid using the bathroom, try for a
window seat. Regards
