Refreshing sleep while travelling

-

While everyone loves travelling during holidays, for some, the whole journey itself could be wrought by lack of sleep.

One of the reasons why travellers suffer from sleepless nights is because the environmen­t is unfamiliar.

Staying in a hotel is never the same as sleeping at home. Room temperatur­e and lighting also make a big impact on sleep quality.

One of the ways to make hotel rooms more comfortabl­e is to bring your own pillow or blanket. Adjust the room temperatur­e to your level of comfort.

A good quality eye mask also helps those sensitive to light.

After driving and working hard all day, it is a rude awakening when faced with noisy neighbours.

Ask the reception if any youth groups or honeymoone­rs are staying next door during check-in. Or look for hotels that are quiet and peaceful.

Corporate executives who travel during business trips tend to do extra work in their hotel rooms, which affects natural sleep patterns. The best solution for this is to set strict boundaries allowing time for relaxation before bedtime.

Those who drive long distance know how their bodies can feel out of sync – they feel stiff, sore and groggy.

if you are on the road for long hours, take regular breaks to get fresh air and stretch your legs.

Of course, never drive when drowsy. Start any trip well rested.

Falling asleep as a passenger in a car can also cause sleeping problems at night. Avoid sleeping long periods on car rides as this affects sleep at night.

if you have trouble falling asleep or getting deep sleep, try a natural sleep supplement such as Rilax Zzz.

it helps you to relax and improve your sleep quality.

A recent clinical study on lactium’s influence on 32 insomniacs was conducted in Tokyo by a team of scientists from Geneva in Switzerlan­d, France and Japan.

Published in The Open Sleep Journal 2009, the study showed that lactium helped a majority of the participan­ts to fall asleep faster, while improving various aspects of sleep disorders.

> Green tea extract, rich in l-Theanine, is an amino acid found naturally in green tea leaves. Studies confirm that it improves the quality of sleep by allowing our mind to fully relax and recuperate.
