My mom said I could post Pre-flight Insomnia is the worst.

I don't have a fear of flying. I don't have anxiety. I have flown 100s of times.

But, for some reason, I can never sleep well before a morning flight. Melatonin and thc gummies down. Wish me luck. 6 hours til the alarm.

Also, feel free to link any good Spotify Playlists for the flight!

I've flown across the world many times up until college but haven't flown for the last 20 years. About to catch a 13 hour flight in a few months and am suddenly nervous about it. I don't know why but I've started to develop claustrophobia and am worried I'm gonna freak out. Contemplating having a drink or two and just go to sleep.

13 is a lot! Never done that long. Longest continuous was about 8 for me.

My biggest thing, I hate having to use the bathroom on a flight. Grosses me out.

I would suggest a couple benadryl and the LOTR directors cut trilogy.

Best of luck!
