How to Get Over a Plane Ride If You Have Motion Sickness - Part One


                Recently I have discovered that I have begun to feel a bit sick riding in moving things, especially airplanes. Pharmacies have all of the motion sickness pills and other medical remedies that can supposedly help a person with this problem. While motion sickness pills might help with this problem, I have decided to write down a list of things that I have done to get over it pill free. This way maybe you too can get through a plane ride without having to pop a few pills if you so desire.

                My first suggestion would be to sleep on the plane. If you have ever fallen asleep before, which I assume you have, you will have noticed that time goes by very quickly. So, just fall asleep on the plane and sleep the whole way there. Then you won’t even notice that you were flying or felt sick at all. If you have trouble sleeping on the plane, just do whatever you can to be as tired as possible. Whether it is not sleeping the night before, or getting minimal sleep, or just skipping that morning’s coffee, just do it. If you still can’t fall asleep, try finding one of those soothing relax and sleep programs that is meant to calm people down. I don’t know about you but these things put me out in a second. I must warn you not to be too tired though because you have to actually make it on the plane before you fall asleep. It would be a bummer to fall asleep in the waiting chairs and have to repeat this process over again. I would also advise you not to try sleeping pill because you may have trouble waking up and that would be pointless for a pill-free diversion. (312)
