Taking a vacation miles away from home can be refreshing physically and mentally. When you leave home for a vacation somewhere, you don't want to get to your destination feeling so exhausted from the stress of flying long distance that you would need a couple of days to recover. Flying long distance can cause boredom, deep vein thrombosis as a result of being in one position for a long time, dehydration, anxiety, all of which can make you uncomfortable and deprive you of sleep through the journey. In addition to other things you could do to cope with long flights, good food is also very important - you need foods that will help you fall asleep. Sleeping on long flights helps time go faster without you watching the clock as it ticks, it also re-energizes you at landing.

Oatmeal: it contains good amount of melatonin ( a hormone that regulates the sleep/wake cycle) and tryptophan, it doesn't digest easily to make you feel hungry in the middle of your sleep.
Almond butter: almond butter makes your body relaxed and gets it ready for sleep.it also ensures your blood sugar level doesn't drop significantly which could disrupt sleep.
Warm milk: it stabilizes the blood sugar levels, also contains calcium that induces sleep.
Bananas: bananas have in them serotonin which is a neurotransmitter that can cause sleep and potassium which relaxes muscles of the body.
