I can fall asleep almost anywhere. I routinely fall asleep in the break room at work. Once, I was helping a friend fix his car, and I fell asleep on his garage floor when he went inside to get water.

But in a hot metal tube tearing through the sky, with my neck all kinked? Get out of here, man.

I actually find it easier to fall a sleep on a plane - not that I have any issues anywhere else 😁 but as soon as I get on that plane, you bet I'm gonna get some zzz time. Even if its just a 2hr flight

idk mate, I just decide to sleep and eventually I do.

For me it's the gentle lullof the motor and mild sway of the plane. I just can't stay awake if I try

1-2mg of Melatonin, remain motionless with eyes closed for ~20 minutes, you'll be out like a light. Make sure you take a smaller dose - most gummies are 5 or 10 mg, it honestly works better if you subdivide.

I rarely sleep longer than 90 minutes at a time, unless I'm physically exhausted already. And yes, the neck hurts, but exhaustion hurts more.

Business class lie flat seat for long haul flights. Tickets are insanely expensive.. fortunately I have a ton of air miles from company travel. Once you try it there's no going back.

Zopiclone baby

I've been on, like, fewer than 50 flights, so I don't think I've slept on one.

Those little neck pillows they board the plane wearing.

Idk I can't sleep on planes either.

Watch a movie on the in-flight entertainment. I can never finish a movie on a plane. No matter what I do, I fall asleep. If I don’t watch anything, I can’t sleep.

Zopiclone, mostly.
