As mentioned-drink or two in airport bar..then 1 or 2 on plane and Melatonin. Depends on how long the flight and occasion as well.

Two Klonopin and a couple of on-board bloody marys and you're set.

I put up a selection of cool designs in this post:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1311953

I was looking for something to stash in the boot to help with long journeys. A few of them look great, some are downright hilarious, but I'm in the "anything to make it through the 12 hours" camp.

Oh god the hanging pose looks like she's dead Also not sure but she's gonna get in a fight some day when she straps that thing over the screen of the person behind her I've seen violent seat jerking for less haha!

Then again the neck does take a beating while airplane sleeping... I tend to rest on the window or get an aisle seat and drop down low with my neck in a perfect comfortable 102 degree bend to the side lol... Just googled it apparently that is not within the normal range of neck movement.. Perhaps I should get one of these

I have the Cabeau Evolution pillow which has been great! Been using it for a few years and I bring it every time I'm fying.

Those did look nice but the prices seemed out of line with the competition. I'd love to try a couple before I buy, the Huzi infinity and the Travelrest looked interesting.

The price is higher than most. I came across it by accident. The reviews were great and I wanted to try it out. I have trouble sleeping on planes and was willing to pay anything for a good and supportive pillow. I have used it to sleep at an airport, on long bus rides while traveling, etc. it's fantastic.

Eat good before the slight and try not to sleep at least 12hrs before.. And of course marijuana. Always does the trick. My issue is the noise from the motors. I can't filter them out normally so by being high it automatically does it

I bring along the Bose QC21 noise canceling earphones and play soft music. I have slept for hours with them on. Of course, none of this is needed for the times I flew business or first class since they have lie flat seats. In economy, i need something like the Cabeau pillow or the one in the OP.

I'm all for paying a little more for quality, somebody once said "I'm not rich enough to buy poor quality stuff". Put the money's in, get something that is better and lasts longer. But in my case it's not ideal because I want to drop a couple in the boot and leave them there until they're needed, so the Cabeau would not be ideal. I'm tempted by inflatables for their compactness but there's no doubt the ones that look most comfy aren't the inflatables.

Wondering if others have had this issue....

I have flown the Seattle London Seattle route about once a month over a two year period, along with trips to China, Japan, Germany, Australia, India, thrown in the middle of those trips, and tried melatonin as my first attempt at managing sleep on long flights. I found that unless you immediately sieze the sleep opportunity it provides, you are completely wired and have no chance at grabbing Zzzs from that point forward.

Anybody else?

I fly 10-12 hour flights quite often and try my best not to sleep. I eat and drink as much as I can and watch everything that's available. I didn't pay to sleep. I enjoy every minute of it.
