apparently the QF FA's 'helper' of choice during crew rest on long haul is:
1/2 a valium, 1/2 a xanax, 1/2 a panadol!
I take 5mg for a couple of days for jetlag. Does work well but sometimes I also wake up feeling like I've got a mild hangover.
Also purchased in the USA.
Reading the article in the following link suggests there are concerns for taking over 1mg.

Read words of caution towards the end.
I use 1mg pills made by a Compounding Chemist as I take it every night (for delayed sleep onset insomnia). The Compounding Chemist makes it with no fillers or additives. And as they make it in batches of 100 pills its cheaper than the normal chemist 2mg pills which I think are 30 to a pack from memory.
Noticed yesterday that Melatonin is now available over the counter in pharmacies in Singapore. Both Guardian and Watsons had it at Changi.

I use these Bioglan tablets, bought over the counter in Aus - only for jetlag. A friend was also told to take these (same brand) for insomnia (delayed sleep patterns) by a psychiatrist, so they must do something. Though perhaps the psych was banking on the placebo effect. Either way, they worked for my friend.
