There’s no place like home\u2014and there’s nothing like sleeping soundly in your own bed. But sometimes, it can be fun to get out, travel, and book a stay at a nice hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, it can be a challenge sleeping away from home without all of the creature comforts you know and love from your nighttime routine<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few nights away from home can be an adventure but can also lead to a rough night of sleep. This article will explore ways to make a hotel room feel more like home so you can enjoy some quality shuteye on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make a hotel room more comfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, how can you make a hotel more comfortable? We have a few ideas. Here are seven fun and easy ways to make a hotel room more comfortable so you can sleep well and feel your best when traveling away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Luggage
Avoid clutter in your hotel room to ensure you get a good night’s sleep. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Keep your hotel room clutter-free<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best things you can do to make a hotel room more comfortable is to\u00a0keep it clutter-free<\/a>. This is especially helpful if you’re used to sleeping in a tidy room at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it may be tempting to strewn the contents of your suitcase everywhere, keep in mind that\u00a0less clutter may help you get a better night\u2019s sleep<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Person
Turn down the thermostat for a cooler sleep experience.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Cool down the temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To make your hotel room more comfortable, you can also set the thermostat to the right temperature. The best room temperature for sleep<\/a> is between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Saatva
Sleeping on your own pillowcase can be more comfortable (and more hygienic). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. Bring your own pillowcase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another way to make a hotel more comfortable is to bring your own\u00a0pillowcase<\/a>. This is easy to pack, even with a carry-on, and can make a hotel bed feel more like you’re own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, this is also a hygienic option since your head is lying directly on the hotel pillow (and you just never know if you’ll be sleeping on a dirty pillowcase!).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Saatva
If it’s an option, ask for a new pillow to improve your shuteye. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Request a different pillow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that some hotels offer pillow menus<\/a>? It’s true! Many five-star hotels allow guests to select a pillow off the menu so you can improve your sleep. You can choose a new pillow<\/a> each night until you find your perfect match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Essential
Pump in your favorite scent to create a relaxing environment. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Bring travel-size versions of your nighttime essentials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At home, you may have a variety of items that help you sleep better. Many of your favorite nighttime essentials are probably available in smaller sizes perfect for travel. Think of things like mini air purifiers<\/a>, humidifiers<\/a>, and white noise machines<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If certain scents help you sleep, pack a travel-size essential oil\u00a0diffuser<\/a>\u00a0too. To save on space, you could\u00a0simply bring your favorite\u00a0essential oil<\/a>\u00a0instead. Enjoy a few calming whiffs before bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might also opt for a lavender pillow spray<\/a> to spritz on your pillow and bedding before you hit the hay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Saatva
Use an eye mask to block out sleep-disrupting light. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6. Wear the right sleepwear and accsessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pack the perfect pair of pajamas<\/a>, perhaps bamboo<\/a> or silk, remove all jewelry<\/a>, and slip into a pair of fuzzy slippers and an oversized bathrobe. You may also want to wear an eye mask<\/span> to block out any annoying light lingering in the hotel room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, consider a pair of earplugs<\/a>. After all, you never know how close your hotel room may be to the elevator. It’s best to block out any unwanted nighttime noise so you can get the best night of sleep possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bath
Taking a warm bath before bed can help you fall asleep.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7. Prioritize a relaxing nighttime routine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At home, you may not have time to indulge in every step of your nighttime routine\u2014but while you’re away, take the time to splurge in your before-bed routine and go all out. Take a warm bath<\/a> or shower complete with Epsom salt<\/a> or scented shower steamers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, put on a clay face mask or sheet mask. Afterward, grab your gua sha, ice roller, or jade roller and relax those facial muscles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top off your nighttime routine with a moisturizing and nourishing body, face, and foot lotion since travel (especially by air) and hotel rooms can easily dry out your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, curl up in bed with a hot beverage like a nighttime mug of tea<\/a> and a good book<\/a> and relax before a blissful night of sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n
