Can I take melatonin on a long flight to make me knock out and sleep ??

Question

Taking a long flight to germany, since it will be dark, can i take melatonin to knock me out and make me sleep for 10 hours?

or perhaps, combine with sleeping pills.??

Answer 1

best bet to fall asleep for a long period of time is to take sleeping pills not melatonin.  If you cannot get ahold of sleeping pills the next best bet is to go ahead and drink alcohol it relaxes you and will make you fall asleep alot easier.

Answer 2

I use melatonin to just relax and to help me fall asleep not to knock me out. I wouldn't combine it with sleeping pills...that might be bad.
