» Jennifer W. Miner - How we cope with long flights

I find it nearly impossible to sleep on planes. On a trip last Spring to Italy, I tossed and turned all the way, and pretty much wrecked my first full day in Florence. I had several friends there to help me out; one gave me an Ambien (yes, I know it's prescription, but whateverrr). That little bitty pill worked like a charm! And, no hangover the next day. So, for people like me who have a hard time sleeping on planes, I recommend medication when nothing else works.
