Was doing the international thing for the last few years and now full time freight dawg. I used Tylenol's Simply Sleep most of the time. But, the dose required is 2 pills. If I took 2 pills I was a groggy A-hole when I woke up and was like that for half the day. 1 pill and I wasn't so bad but it wasn't as easy to fall asleep with 1 pill. And then there was the day a fellow pilot gave me one of his Ambien and boy that stuff is right on. I was out like a light and woke up feeling great. I recommend that stuff for long term use and over-the-counter stuff should work for the occasional help.
I didn't know Ambien had been approved by the FAA. Do you have a link or any kind of resource to prove it. That stuff works great.
Some people use melatonan(sp?) which is allowed, however is gives me horrible dreams and makes me a zombie the next day.
