Sleep Schedule

Sadly, nothing works for me. I fall asleep when my mind goes into max exhaustion. A sleep aid - not alcohol, may help.

I do long haul (15-18 hrs) travel most every month. I dose on plane getting 15 min here and there. Read a lot. On arrival day stay up until evening for location. I do use Ambien on first night and my first night home.

Lots of advice here already. One thing to consider is the value of business or premium economy. The benefit of being able to lie down makes all the difference for me.

Depending on the average day rate of your safari you can judge if it’s worth the extra money. If I was spending $1k for the day rate all of a sudden an extra 2k for a flight doesn’t seem as excessive to avoid risking being exhausted for a full day of hunting.

This takes more advanced planning but we have used a combination of miles and credit card perks to secure multiple business class trips for about the same price as economy.

I limit myself to a glass or two of champagne, drink more water on flights and sleep as much as I can!
