Disposable Oxygen kits - any use?

I'm currently working as a light aircraft delivery pilot. On my last flight, as I was preparing for the descent and approach after six hours at F0120, I realised that I was suffering from mild hypoxia.

As an antidote on future flights, I was considering buying a few of those small disposable oxygen kits you sometimes see in pilot shops. The bottles are small and I would guess only contain enough oxygen for a few minutes, and certainly not enough for the whole flight. But do they contain enough to buzz up just before the workload starts on arrival?
