Traveling can disrupt your usual sleep patterns, but following some strategies can enhance sleep quality while on the go. Here are some tips to help you get better sleep during your travels.
This can significantly improve your comfort and sleep quality while traveling and adequately support your neck and head to prevent stiffness and discomfort.
While traveling, your sleep kit can include items like a compact inflatable pillow, spongy earplugs or noise-cancellation headphones, a sleep mask and a bed sheet.
Time your sleep according to your destination to adjust your circadian rhythm effectively. Using melatonin supplements can also aid in managing jet lag symptoms, helping you feel less tired.
