Whatever your reasons for traveling, sleeping away from home can still be unsettling. Even if you're in the most luxurious and comfortable hotel room, you may have trouble getting a good night's sleep in an unfamiliar bed. With this in mind, try these tips for sleeping well during your overnight stay.

How to Get a Good Night's Rest

1. Arrange a Wake-Up Call

The idea of sleeping in can make you anxious so that it is harder to drift off. By requesting a wake-up call from the hotel's front desk, you can rest easy knowing that you'll be up at the right time and won't miss any planned activities.

2. Wind Down With a Shower

Warm water falling on your back can ease your muscles and encourage relaxation. Getting clean can also help you transition mentally from a busy, exciting day to a peaceful evening.

3. Cool Down the Room

When people go to sleep, their body temperature actually gets several degrees colder than usual. Conversely, setting the thermostat in your room a little lower can help your body realize it’s rest time.

4. Add Some White Noise

The air conditioner can also provide gentle background noise, which will help mask the sounds of people in adjacent rooms. If the AC noise doesn't work for you, try playing static, rain sounds, waves, or soft music on your smart device.

5. Bring a Pillow From Home

You’ve grown used to resting your head on a particular kind of pillow every night and are familiar with its weight, density, and feel. Therefore, consider bringing it to the hotel with you. By being able to resume your usual sleep position, it may facilitate easier sleep.
