Traveling is an exciting experience, but getting a good night’s sleep on the road is not always easy. Whether in a hotel or a friend’s guest room, sleeping in an unfamiliar environment can throw off your sleep patterns and leave you feeling groggy and unrested. Fortunately, there are strategies for sleeping better when you’re on the go, so you can wake up feeling rested, refreshed, and ready to explore.

Pack the right gear. First and foremost, make sure you have the right gear to help you sleep comfortably wherever you go. A travel pillow, a lightweight blanket, and a sleep mask can make a big difference in helping you relax and fall asleep, especially on planes. If you’re particularly sensitive to noise, consider packing a pair of earplugs as well.

Choose your room wisely. When booking your accommodations, pay attention to the room’s features that can affect your sleep quality. For example, ask for a room on a higher floor away from the street if you’re sensitive to noise. You may also want to consider booking a hotel that offers amenities such as blackout curtains or a quiet zone.

Adjust to jet lag. If you’re planning on traveling to a different time zone, it’s important to adjust your sleep schedule, which will aid in jet lag recovery. This can take a few days, so try to arrive at your destination a few days before any important events or activities.

One way to ease the adjustment is by taking SleepCalm On the Go Pellets. They’re powered by plants and melt easily in the mouth to relieve occasional sleeplessness and restless sleep.* With a compact size and easy-to-use format, this sleep aid is the perfect travel companion for anyone ages 12 and older looking to get a good night\’s sleep while traveling or on the go.
