how do you actually sleep on a long flight?

Last time I had a long-haul flight—14 hours, to be exact—I was determined to get some real sleep. I packed my neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones, and even wore my softest socks. But as soon as I sat down, I realized the seat barely reclined, and the guy behind me kept kicking my chair. I tried melatonin once, but it made me feel groggy for half the next day. My friend swears by ZzzQuil, but I worry about feeling out of it when I land. I even considered just powering through with coffee, but that sounds like a recipe for jet lag. Has anyone actually found something that works for sleeping on these flights? I always see people passed out as soon as the plane takes off, and I can't help but wonder—what's their secret? #longhaulflights #sleeptips #travelstruggles #Travel
