I always have trouble sleeping on the plane, so if I’m taking a long flight, I eat one or two about 30 minutes before when it would be my bedtime at my destination. That usually does the trick. Or I if I’m on the ground, I eat one just before bedtime.

I travel a lot so I just keep some on me in my wallet, so I don’t forget.

I think that there are fake drugs around. you just need to stick to the brand that worked for you. Thanks for your input.

I always take about 1mg sublingual to fall asleep along with an additional 3mg sustained release to stay asleep. On the first trips I was using the store brand at "the health pantry" which worked well, but when the bottles were running low I tried using the vitamin shoppe's store brand and hardly slept at all. I then experimented back and forth between those 2 brands and there is definitely a difference. Then I tried the source naturals brand and it worked better than either of the other 2 brands. So now I'm wondering what the best brands are. Through personal experience I can say that source naturals is good, but there may be a brand that's much better. Has anyone found a better brand?
