Travel Sleep Tips
Stay well-rested on the road with these proven travel sleep strategies.
Traveling disrupts your sleep routine through jet lag, unfamiliar environments, noise, and uncomfortable beds. Here's how to maintain quality sleep wherever you go.
Fighting Jet Lag
Adjust your schedule gradually before travel, seek sunlight at destination morning time, use melatonin strategically, and stay hydrated. The general rule: one day of adjustment per time zone crossed.
Hotel Sleep Kit
Pack a sleep mask, earplugs or a portable sound machine, a familiar pillow case (scent association helps), and a small nightlight for bathroom trips.
Airplane Sleep
Book window seats for wall support, use a quality neck pillow, wear compression socks, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and set your watch to destination time immediately.
Maintaining Routine
Keep your bedtime routine as consistent as possible. Even shortened versions signal your brain to prepare for sleep.
