I have a upcoming long haul flight in eco departing around 8pm and arriving around 7am on the morning (hopefully i can snag a upgrade), its technically a 6 hour flight with time zone difference, I am thinking eat early or eat at airport and then try sleep on the flight or after meal service an hour into the flight.

Generally speaking, I have always found it hard to sleep on a flight in eco and business. My head just wont sleep, at best ill close my eyes and try switching off.

I was thinking for this upcoming flight I really need to try sleep and wake up fresh or at least have had some sleep. I was thinking maybe sleeping tablets or some light sleep aid but thought i cant be the only one, have any of you overcome it or found a way to sleep or switch off.
