The more time zones you cross, the worse your jet lag is likely to be. When heading to Asia or Australia, fight the urge to sleep your way through lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New sleep settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Change is hard, especially when it comes to your bed. Research shows your brain loves familiar things<\/a>, which, in turn, help you feel safe and relaxed. It\u2019s no surprise then that new sleep settings can throw you off your sleep patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe the mattress is too hard and the pillow too soft. Perhaps the curtains aren\u2019t blackouts like the ones you have at home. Either way, it takes time for your body and your sleep cycle to adapt to a new environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you travel\u2014whether for work or pleasure\u2014your everyday routine doesn’t apply. While you\u2019re away from home, you tend to dine out more than usual, often eating more indulgent foods. And we don\u2019t blame you if you replace your daily exercise routine with a nap by the pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter how pleasurable these experiences may be, though, they often mean you won\u2019t sleep well while traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you know all the reasons why you can\u2019t sleep while traveling\u2014but don\u2019t worry, there are plenty of ways to help you sleep while you\u2019re on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From essential oils<\/a> to scheduled naps<\/a> and plenty of sun, here\u2019s the how-to on sleeping well while traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s comfort in routine. After all, we are creatures of habit. So do your best to follow the same nightly routine you use at home, be it your regular skincare regime or reading a chapter or two before lights out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you know you can\u2019t sleep while traveling, come prepared. Make room in your suitcase for a white noise machine<\/a> to help lull you to sleep and keep you asleep. If your flight requires an overnight, pack a comfy sleep mask<\/a> and lavender essential oils to help increase the amount of deep sleep in your cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Improve your sleep while traveling with these Saatva eye masks<\/p>\n \n Drift into dreamland with our sleep-enhancing eye mask made of the finest quality mulberry silk.

Whatever you do, though, don\u2019t sleep for more than 30 minutes. Otherwise, you may have a hard time waking up and staying up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plane rides can lead to dehydration, so it\u2019s essential to drink a lot of water before, during, and after a flight. It\u2019s also best to avoid big, heavy meals before boarding, as well as caffeine. Although you\u2019re on vacation, drinking can also worsen sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sun gives you vitamin D, and a healthy dose will help your body reset its clock to better adjust to your new environment. Just remember to wear sunscreen; a bad sunburn<\/a> can make for a painful and restless night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exercise is essential for falling asleep and waking up rested. But you don\u2019t have to do an intense HIIT class to move your body. Instead, go for a walk or a swim<\/a> for 20 to 30 minutes to get a better night\u2019s sleep while traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve got a long-haul flight coming up or a lengthy train ride<\/a>, traveling in style can help you sleep better. The ability to lie flat on a business class seat and grab several solid hours of sleep will make all the difference when you land.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChanges to routine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
