Ambien: Now this is a prescription drug, so you will need to make a visit to the doctor, and it's only recommended for long flights.
And be advised Ambien has been known to cause some weird dreams and hallucinations, so if you don't want to embarrass yourself on the plane, take it a few times before you fly check this website. Or risk being that (bleep) hole who forces the plane to land early due to your "episodes." - Then what do I do? Smash this thing? What happens then, the door just suddenly opens miraculously? Tylenol PM: These are over the counter and you'll want to look for "diphenhydramine," which is the same antihistamine found in Benadryl. The downside with these types of drugs is that you might wake up feeling groggy, and where's the fun in that if you couldn't even drink first? Melatonin: Here's an all-natural option that some people swear by Melatonin is a hormone that occurs naturally in the body. The extra dose helps induce sleep and supposedly helps with jet lag too.

Who are the luckiest people on an airplane?
The ones in first class? The members of the Mile High Club? No. It's actually not any of them. It's the ones who are sleeping. Hello people of the interwebs! I'm Dara and this is "Thrillist Travel Guide," the show where we not only tell you about the best places to visit and what to do when you're there, we tell you how to be a better traveler overall. Today we will be focusing on one of the great struggles of air travel: sleeping on a plane. Some of you may have this on lock already, so if you do, congratulations. And I hate you. But, seriously, sleeping on a plane is not easy for everyone. So here we have compiled some tips and hacks for sleeping on a plane: Number 1: Seat Choice If you have the option to choose your seat, make it a window seat, so you can keep your elbows make it a window seat, so you can keep your elbows far away from rolling beverage carts far away from rolling beverage carts and avoid people getting up and down to stretch their legs, pee, work out, whatever. And yes, I've seen someone working out on a plane. - Three. - I don't think so. Also be careful with exit row seats. They sound great at first because of the extra legroom, but sometimes they don't recline. Epic fail. You can check out SeatGuru or SeatExpert to find out. They have seat maps of most commercial airlines. Number 2: Sleeping Gear First things first: Arrive in comfy clothes. Stretchy pants and sweats are your friends. As are hoodies, and sleeves that roll up or down to deal with any temperature changes. - You know what else is number one? My sweatpants. Sneakers or any type of slide-on shoe works well too, so you can remove them easily. - Ohh. So comfy. - Sleeping masks are crucial, because they will keep out any light and make you feel like you're in your own little cocoon, all warm and fuzzy. Noise-canceling headphones are a great move too, if you want to take a step up from the ear plugs. They might be pricey, but they're worth it. And here's a pro tip on the pillow: If you're in that unfortunate middle seat, turn your neck pillow around so your chin is resting on the front and you don't accidentally fall on your neighbor. We talked about this already. It's not a good look. Number 3: Drugs This isn't some homeopathic, all-natural, vegan channel. We love you guys, but we're also realists, OK? Sometimes you just need the (bleep) drugs for that extra help. There are a few popular ones for sleeping on planes, but these are the ones that we recommend: - I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV. You pay a one time fee and you're able to stay as long as you want. Typically it's about 90 or 100 US dollars for the day.
A tip here is to book in advance on their website. They have a strict schedule. You're not able to just show up. And if you do try and just show up, it's gonna be a risk that you're not gonna be able to get in so preferably at the beginning of the trip or even before, make a booking online, book your tickets, book your time. If you want to go to Blue Lagoon, just make sure that you're able to get in. And once you're in, there's all sorts of cool things. You get a complementary mud mask, you're able to get a beverage of non-alcoholic, alcoholic even, you're able to get a beer in the lagoon or the pool. And you can even get a massage while floating on a water bed in the lagoon. That does come at an extra price. But if you wanted to, you could do that. There's also a steam room and a sauna. And in general, the trip to the Blue Lagoon is one of the most relaxing and most magical experiences that you'll have. It's absolutely worth it. You should go to Iceland even just for that alone. So overall, a trip to Iceland is an absolute must. Ideally, you want to take about four days. And then you're going to be able to do everything I just described. In terms of cost, including flights, accommodation, car rentals, activities, and food, I spent about 2,500 US dollars for the four day trip. You can definitely do it for less money if you wanted to. But if you're able to have this budget for the trip, you're gonna have all the comfort and the luxury that you want, to make this trip absolutely unforgettable. So there you have it, I hope you enjoyed these tips. I really hope you'll enjoy your trip to Iceland, which I have no doubt you will. If you want to learn how I'm able to travel the world and pretty much take trips whenever I want while making money from my online business, working on my laptop anywhere with an internet connection, and taking days off to go, like this trip to Iceland was absolutely amazing. And even when I went on the trip, my online business was still making money.
