<\/p>\nAnyone who travels economy class on a regular basis knows all too well the struggles of sleeping on a plane. Unless you have the cash to splash out on a flat-bed business class seat, trying to get a good night’s sleep on a plane is a real challenge. Between the cramped seats, limited legroom, and cabin pressure, flights don\u2019t offer the ideal environment for a restful sleep, but there are a few ways you can make things a little more comfortable for yourself. These 3\u00a0tips will help you sleep a bit better on a long-haul flight so you arrive at your destination bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you’re not a fan of sleeping tablets, try taking a more ‘natural’ sleeping aid such as a melatonin supplement. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate our circadian rhythm by working as a darkness signal. It\u2019s naturally secreted by the brain\u2019s pineal gland and many seasoned travellers use a melatonin supplemental to treat jet lag and help with sleep during a long flight.<\/p>\n
To get your brain ready for sleep, take melatonin 20 to 30 minutes before sleep. Once you’ve taken the supplement, avoid alcohol, sedating medications, and other sedating supplements.<\/p>\n
