Vacation & Your Sleep Schedule

A lot of people say that when they are on vacation, whether it’s for a weekend or a week or more, they have trouble sleeping.  Why is that?  You should be relaxed if you’re on vacation!  Here’s how to sleep better, like you’re in your own bed.

Know your preferences.  Do you like a pitch black room or a night light?  Do you like it to be hot or cold?  This is a simple fix in most cases.

Bring your home with you.  Not literally, but if you have your own pillows or blankets, it’s likely to remind you of being at home.  This can help you sleep better.

Be prepared.  Whether it’s unexpectedly having to book a hotel right by the interstate or being a few time-zones away from your own, always be proactive and not reactive.  If you’re a light sleeper, it’s probably best to always travel with ear plugs.  If you know you’ll be a few hours ahead or behind  your time-zone, try to adjust the best way you can a few days in advance.
