Most effective otc sleeping pill for 5 hour flight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will often work adequately to get a short amount of sleep for a five hour flight. For longer more predictable sleep, you may need to consider a prescription med such as ambien. Check with your primary care physician as to what may be appropriate for your situation.
