Tips for Better Sleep While Traveling

November 30, 2024 Karen A. Mulvey

There is no arguing that traveling can make sleep quite difficult, but it doesn’t have to be! If you take some time and really prepare to tackle your sleep troubles when you travel, you will find you can start getting better, more consistent sleep when you are away from home. Remember, not sleeping when you travel won’t just impact you when you are gone—it can also make getting back into a normal sleep routine difficult when you return home, and can have some lasting ramifications on your sleep patterns moving forward. Take your time to plan out how you will be getting better sleep along with planning the rest of your trip, and it will only help you in the end.

Why Sleep is Important on Vacation

Sleep is an important function in everyone’s life and while it might be tempting to cram as many activities as possible on vacation, you should take time to relax. When planning your vacation, focus on going to a coupe must-see locations a day and giving yourself time to breathe for the additional free time you have. When you don’t have to run around from 6am-11pm you’ll find vacations much more enjoyable.

Like you would at home, follow a sleep schedule so you’re not exhausted the entire vacation. In fact, vacations are a perfect time to adjust your regular sleep schedule as there are no distractions or pressing deadlines you need to worry about. Focus on readjusting your internal clock and use the vacation to figure out how much sleep you need and your perfect bedtime. From there, just sit back and relax!
