Im about to be on 18 hrs. rest.......with a 5:30am van. Personally I dont see a difference between this situation vs. a reduced rest overnight, either way I will sleep 6 hours. I dont really see what were supposed to do about rest, and I agree with previous posts, just fix our QOL with pay and days off and we will complain and be on the news a little less.

Agreed there for sure...and I would love to see something more like that -- my post was more in reference to those others calling for more draconian work regs...

Many people actually live on 4 and 5 hours of sleep, every night (my grandmother has been doing it for longer than I've been alive); some simply need more sleep than others. You and I and the next guy are all different...That is fact, not opinion. Now I say that in the most respectful kind of way, because generally I agree with you. Just not this time LoL
Again, no disrespect, but most people I know (young and old) cannot safely operate on just 4-5 hours of sleep. I can't tell you how many times I've looked over and seen my crew member reading the back of his eyelids 30 minutes into a flight because he didn't get enough sleep!

Are there any side effects with this? Am i going to pee myself in my sleep because im so tired. I heard a flight attendant on the bus talk about that cause she had used ambian for the first time, and that was her experience. Where do I get it?

I think he works for, who else, mesa. That sort of schedule in a CRJ sounds familiar...

I'm not certain about FAA legality for melotonin. It's a supplement, so I'm not sure if they have rules about that, or would care.
