I’m a minimalist, if not prohibitionist, when it comes to recreational and prescription drug use. Heck, I don’t even like ingesting a couple of Advil unless I’m in severe pain. But several years ago, my doctor asked if I wanted 10-15 short-term sleeping pills for the many long-haul flights I take for work each year.
I’m no doctor and hate being sleep-deprived, so I decided to give it a shot. Several years later, I’m happy to report that I didn’t form an addiction. Better yet, I believe I discovered a dirt-cheap way to turn long-haul coach seats into sleep-friendly first-class. Now on intercontinental or overseas flights, I “crash” in 15 minutes after popping a magic pill and wake up feeling noticeably more refreshed than before and more alert than other passengers.
“What did you do?” my sleep deprived friends asked. I filled them in and was noticeably perkier than them at breakfast. Not in aI’m so grateful I got to sleep on that plane so I wouldn’t be a zombie todayThis travel hack works so well, even the US Air Force prescribes these same pills to help jet lagged pilots get the legally required amount of sleep before their next flight.
Granted, my results and effectiveness have varied by flight. While they always work in some form to put me to sleep, I sometimes sleep better than others, especially on an overnight flight or when on a time-shifting day flight to the other side of the world. Overnight flights work best in my experience. But “more than before” sleep on day flights is a welcome addition too.
