Sleeping Pills to get through flight?
Just wondered if anyone had taken sleeping pills to help them sleep through the flight. I never ever sleep on planes and thought that maybe taking taking a sleeping pill might make the flight back to the UK pass a little quicker. Never taken one in my life so don't know whether it is possible that they can have the opposite effect? Does anyone have any good/bad experiences or advice to offer?

If you have never taken a sleeping pill before you will not know what the affects will be. You would hate to be 35,000' up and have a bad reaction to a pill. You're best to just try to relax and if you don't sleep on the first leg you will certainly be tired enough to sleep on the second.

I knew someone who took pills just before boarding, flight was delayed for 6 hours, she fell asleep in the departure lounge and they had to wake her up to get on the plane ..... and then she had to stay awake for the whole flight!

Have you thought of taking Nytol herbal? Or you can get medicine I think it's called Fenigan or something like that, You can give it to children for long flights but also adults can take it too. You can by it over the counter. Try @ home before you try anything though!

Yes and they work well.
But I stopped after all the DVT stuff came out.

I got some sleeping tablets from the doctor for our flight to Sydney. The OH decided to take some and zonked for hours as we went JAL and had a 12 and 12 hours flights. He dribbled on the person next to him as I was sat with the kids. He then demanded he filled in the arrival form - In the queue I noticed he had:
He had ticked YES for TB
Ticked YES for the farming/horticulture thing
And he said "I haven't filled that in!!"
After a mad dash around the queue we found a blank one and filled it correctly
After all this I then go to immigration and show the medicines we have brought.
The doctor had prescribed "illegal" to Australia sleeping tablets AAARRGGHHH
To cut a long story short - they counted them - showed them to many other immigration people and let us have them back
Sleeping tablets - NOOOOOOOooooo don't do it!!
