Even in a five-star hotel, you can have trouble catching enough “Zs,” putting a damper on your fun. However, you can sleep better on vacation with a few simple adjustments.
Take Your Own Mattress
Lugging a full-size mattress around would be fun to see. But no one suggests you strip your home bed and bring it with you. Instead, you can purchase portable mattress toppers filled with memory foam and cooling materials like gel and cushions. These are excellent if you have a bad back or get too hot at night, and you can roll them up for easy packing. However, suppose you are taking a road trip. In that case, you might want to consider replacing an RV mattress with a comfortable one suitable for de-stressing after a long day of driving.
Stick to Your Routine
Over 70 million Americans suffer from sleep problems in the United States alone. Developing a solid bedtime routine is vital for helping with sleep disorders and can take years to master. When traveling, you are essentially removed from your comfort zone, figuratively and literally. In most cases, you can’t take your bed with you. But you can adhere to your usual routine. A typical bedtime routine involves preparing yourself and getting into bed at the same time each night so you can get up the following morning. Try to do as much as is normal for you.
Forget About Home and Work
The entire point of a vacation is to relax and unwind after working all year. Vacation time is time for you to de-stress, have fun and spend quality time with those you care about. It is not time to check your work emails, call the office, and answer work-related phone calls. Otherwise, you might as well have stayed at home. You will only ruin your holiday, and your family certainly won’t appreciate it. Additionally, the stresses and worries of work will begin to ruin your sleeping while away, so let it go. The office will still be there when you get home.
Take Time Finding a Good Spot
Everyone has different requirements when it comes to sleep. Some need peace and quiet, while others require complete darkness. Additionally, the way a bed faces or its closeness to a door can affect some people. So when you arrive at your destination, take the time to choose your bed. Make sure it fits your needs. If you are in a hotel, you can request another room if one is available. And you can move the furniture in rented accommodation as long as you put it back before leaving. Poor sleep could ruin your holiday, so make sure you are comfortable.
Consider Glamping
Camping is a pastime enjoyed by millions all over the world. The great outdoors is there for everyone. But not everyone is cut out for wilderness survival. Camping requires a particular set of skills, and some require years of practice. And sleeping in bags can be a nightmare for some with a bad back. Fortunately, you can enjoy the camping experience with all the comforts of home. Known as “glamping,” the activity provides you with pre-made sturdy tents, comfortable beds, and electricity for charging your phone and accessing Wi-Fi.
Summary
Taking a vacation is to be enjoyed. You can take a portable topper for more comfort. If not, choose your bed wisely, and let the worries of work go so you can get some much-needed rest.
