Advice Can anyone recommend a good strategy to keep me asleep for 8+ hours?

I’ll be flying into Dubai to meet a couple friends yet I’ve become terrified of travelling over open sea lately, even though I already know how safe flights are. Any recommendation besides melatonin? Thanks y’all.

I stay awake as much as possible before my flight, i use noise canceling headphones and i play ASMR audios + i don't check the flight progress.

I would love to stay awake beforehand but I’m used to a very strict sleeping schedule, I wouldn’t make it 30 minutes over. Not checking flight status is a great one ☝️
