I downloaded the “calm app” and I can get some really good naps / rest. Deep breathing like in a yoga class “ take a deep breath”. As the saying goes really relaxes and can help you rest. Just my 2 cents

I like Benedryl
Makes me fall asleep hard and fast. The only thing with Benedryl is that you need to take it a long time before you need to wake up. 8+ hours. You need to take it 45 to 1 hour prior to sleep and you can only do it if you have a full 7 or 8 hours to sleep. Otherwise you'll wake up and it'll still make you feel groggy. But, assuming you take it early enough, it's fantastic

But if you're injured, hospital tox panel will probably find it. If they don't, the FAA might when THEY test the blood sample later. Neither hospitals nor investigators are limited to what the DOT tests for.

It's cool to drink yourself stupid on a layover, but God forbid I get a good night's rest with an antihistamine.
