Finding out how full the plane is?

[straitman]

See if you can find a naturpath (sp?) that handles melatonin with vit. B6 (nature's essence brand). I find after 15 mins of taking one, i'm asleep (and sleep doesn't happen easy for me all the time). the effect last abt. 6 hrs. and i wake up great, no groggy feeling, etc. Helps fantastic with jet lag. I usually take them for abt. 4 days post flt. as well at night. I get them at Sinapore int'l a/port at chemist. small little place tucked at back of one of the sections. I've been told some naturpaths sell melatonin.

good luck, trish

Be aware that 'Melatonin' can have totally the opposite effect. I tried one on a flight after this type of recommendation and found them very useful to combat fatigue. (I was wide awake the whole trip) After a little research I've found that whilst this experience is not as common as the one above it does occur for some people. ie if you decide to go this way then try the Melatonin before the trip.

Thanks!

I've decided to go with Blackmores Valerian Forte (can buy from supermarket) and have tried them a couple of nights this week and it has certainly helped me sleep through the night - normally I get up 2-3 times, but this helped me to sleep through - so will take some on the flight.

I just rechecked on SeatCounter and there's still plenty of seats available on the flight so it doesn't look like it will be full. We will be checking in from Adelaide so I might be able to get checkin to block a seat in our row. See how we go ...
