We used to get a “medical kit” when we traveled that had some “happy pills” in
it to help us sleep. When I used to go from places like Singapore to Tokyo to
Chicago I would have a drink, meal, then take a pill and be lights out until
just before landing in Chicago.

Melatonin pill sized at 5 mg needs to be cut in half. They work great at
