If you're traveling for multiple days, you're going to have to sleep somewhere. Most people opt for a hotel room, which is most likely to have home comforts, including a warm shower, cozy bed, and tasty snacks. Even with the many amenities provided in these establishments, some people still struggle to sleep well in an unfamiliar place. Follow the tips below to sleep better in hotel rooms and improve your traveling experience.

How to Sleep Well in a Hotel Room

1. Keep Your Room Cool

Most hotel rooms have adjustable thermostats inside that allow you to make a room as cool or warm as you'd like. Keep your air on and set the room at a comfortable, cool temperature, such as 70 degrees. Depending on your personal preference, you may want to alter this temperature slightly, but this setting should enable you to comfortably snuggle under the blankets and sleep soundly through the night.

2. Bring Items You Normally Sleep With

Bringing a familiar item that helps you sleep at home will help your body and mind settle in a hotel room. If you have extra space in your suitcases, bring your favorite blanket, pillow, ear plugs, sleep mask, or bonnet, since it's easier to fall asleep if you follow your normal routine. If you forget some of these items, your hotel may have complimentary options that are just a call away.

3. Take a Shower

It's normal to feel grimy after a day of traveling. As tempted as you may be to lay down when you first check in to your hotel room, take a shower first. Hotels provide free shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, however, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to bring your own products. Taking a shower and getting clean can make slipping into the hotel bedsheets even more relaxing.
