Brush Your Teeth
If you have a hard time sleeping on flights, we get it. Blocking out all the noise, dealing with the lights going on and off is difficult enough, but getting your body to adjust its sleeping patterns to new timezones takes some serious magic. Here’s a tip: brush your teeth before going to sleep. This is simple, but it will trick your body into thinking it’s bedtime.
