Can anyone suggest a method or even proper drugs
I can use to get to sleep so the flights don't seem
so long?


Benadryl works great.

One time I flew to London on a 747 sandwiched between a French guy and a
fellow from Hong Kong, neither of whom spoke english. For the love of God.



Does that mean that you had to talk to them in French and Cantonese?

No - it means that he was one of the very fortunate few who manage to
get through a seemingly interminable flight without having to indulge in
inane conversation with the person next to them.

I can see the possible issue.

For myself, however, I can say that I've had quite a few pleasant conversations on
long flights.

I was mildly amused when on a Dubai - Bombay sector, the cabin crew asked me to
befriend an older passenger they seated next to me. Nice old guy actually. Shame
about the A300.

I'm willing to bet that your victims would disagree.
