These are terrific, thoughtful ideas, thank you. We experience jet lag going to Denver from CT, so this overseas bit requires a decent amount of planning. And I do not do well when I'm tired.
I do want to sleep on the plane - and I do manage to do so, probably bc I'm always tired lol - was thinking of a valium and a tylenol PM. I've done that at home on rare occasion. Valium makes you sleepy, PM keeps me asleep. We have a 1.5 hour layover and than a 1.5 hour second leg. If my husband can haul me to the right gate, I suppose I can be groggy.
So. Much. Planning.
