I've used it for sea sickness and it drugs me to the point of not being able to function. Ambien, however, puts me to sleep, but I can wake up and be alert when needed. It just depends on ones body what works safely and effectively. Dramamine, for some, can be far worse than Ambien.

What most people forget about is the possibility of an emergency, where someone under the influence of sleeping pills may not be in a position to do anything if they're too sedated. For me, I just stick to Dramamine. It knocks me out every time, and I am usually good for more than half of the flight. However, I will remember Nap26. Great tip. Thanks!

An Ambien will net me a scant two hours on a plane. When I flew home from the southern tip of New Zealand, it took four planes and about 52 hours from reaching airport #1 till I walked through my front door. I did not take a pill and I did not sleep even a minute while traveling. Sure did catch up on my movies, though.
