As I prepare to get on yet another plane — and I have a cold that has pushed me into the bottomless well of self-pity — I’m thinking about the three trips to Europe I’m making in the next couple of months. They’re all red-eyes. I don’t sleep well on planes. I have on occasion dosed myself with dramamine because it knocks me out without leaving much of a hangover. Some people I know swear by melatonin to reset the diurnal clock. I’ve never tried it. Any suggestions?

Alternatively, if you’d like to upgrade me to business class, I’d be happy to give up the drugs. It’s your choice really. [Technorati tag: melatonin jetlag]
