Does Relief Band work for sea sickness
Dramamine makes her sleepy. Has anyone had experience with the ReliefBand product that gives little electrical impulses?

I am well qualified to respond to this, and they work extremely well for me. One of my passengers once complained about the tingling feeling, but she was the type who complained about everything.

Works for me
I have also used the electrical Relief Band on many of my single handed crossings of Lake Huron. Never once got sick while using one, but I can't be truly sure if it worked since I don't easly get sick anyway, and mostly used it because we had it (I bought it for my wife, who hated the electrical charges).
It does have a significant benefit for singlehanders, since the strength of the charges, while set on high (#5) is so uncomfortable that there is no way I was going to fall asleep on watch, even after 29 hours at the helm. Using it isn't a no-brainer, however, in that I found that any activity (sail change, trimming a sail) could dislodge the band from the proper point on my wrist, and I was always having to reposition it. Still I recommend it.
