Answer 1

If you're not going to sleep the next best way to pass the time is to watch some movies or TV.

Answer 2

I have the same problem.  I suffer from Panic Disorder.  I'm checking to see if I can have alcohol on a flight next week when i fly on a business trip.  Try to stay positive and remember you might feel like going crazy, but you most definatly wont :)

Answer 3

Your best bet would be to just sleep, avoid caffeine before the flight....

If you're too reluctant to do that it usually helps to just try and enjoy it by watching the movie and enjoying the drinks/snacks

Answer 6

Been there, done that.

The drugs may not help because I took two benedril, hadn't slept in 2 days, and was worn out all that day. When I was on the flight at 10:00 pm, I nodded off before takeoff. But during takeoff, it woke me up and I couldn't sleep for the entire trip.

One cool thing, I saw the sun come up at 4 am (my time).

We landed in Spain. I ate, went to my room for a nap and fell asleep for 3-4 hours for worrying about something that DIDN'T HAPPEN.
