Keion White’s Melatonin Marathon Plan for 15-Hour Australia Flight
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Keion White joked in the locker room about taking five melatonin pills to sleep through their 15‑hour flight to Australia, planning to sleep, wake, and repeat the cycle. The remark appeared in a video shared by a local reporter; health experts note that melatonin overdoses are rarely fatal but can cause side effects like drowsiness, irritability, and confusion. The team will likely have health staff oversight during travel, and White will have about a week to recover from any sleep-related aftereffects once they reach their destination.
