How to Sleep Better While Traveling
Traveling can be exciting, but it often comes with disrupted sleep patterns due to unfamiliar environments, irregular schedules, or dreaded jetlag. Good sleep is essential for making the most of your adventures. Here are practical tips to help you sleep better and recharge while on the go.
1. Adjust to Local Time
One of the best ways to combat jetlag is to sync your schedule with the local time as soon as possible.
- If you’re arriving during the day, try to stay awake and enjoy sunlight, as it helps reset your internal clock.
- If you land at night, prioritize rest immediately.
2. Create a Restful Environment
Transform your space into a haven of comfort: spray your pillow with soothing lavender mist, enjoy a warm bath infused with eucalyptus aromas to ease tension, or immerse yourself in calming music.

3. Stick to a Sleep Routine
Even when traveling, a consistent sleep routine signals your body that it’s time to wind down.
- Establish rituals such as a cup of herbal tea, reading a book, or meditating before bed.
- Avoid heavy meals and caffeine late in the evening, as they can disrupt your ability to fall asleep.
4. Move Your Body
Traveling can throw off your physical activity, which impacts your sleep.
- Fit in light exercises, like walking or stretching, to help relieve tension from flights or long days of sightseeing.
- At our property, you’ll enjoy complimentary access to the gym, making it easy to incorporate a quick workout into your day. A little movement can do wonders to release tension, enhance relaxation, and set the stage for a better night’s sleep.
5. Embrace Technology (Wisely)
Many apps and devices are designed to aid sleep while traveling.
- Use apps with white noise or guided meditations to help you drift off.
- But remember: turn off screens at least an hour before bed to avoid the sleep-disrupting effects of blue light.
