Only a fool would take Tylenol. The stuff is so liver toxic that it should not be available, EVEN by prescription. Unfortunatly most physicians don't spend enough time studying the lit to know this and advise their patients accordingly.

I have the same problem where nothing really works for me in economy class(including Tyl PM). I finally got Lunesta which still only gives me about 3-4 hours on 10-12 hour flights. Yesterday I did not bring my Lunesta so I drank half a glass of Gin on a FRA-ORD, and slept (er maybe passed out was more like it), but only for an hour. I need a new drug! (...or perhaps a new employer that will buy business class tix)

I agree, noise cancelling headsets and eyeshades. Stay away from caffein and chocolates. I have also found that not watching the movie helps especially if they are action films. They get the heart and pulse racing making it hearder to fall asleep.

Simply Sleep? Sominex? Ambien? Tried em all.
Is there something I can ask my doctor for that will really allow me to sleep on a trip to Asia?
