A Good Nights Sleep

When we are home we have invested in a great bed. However a great bed can’t be packed in our luggage. So what I have found helps when traveling is keeping with the same nightly routine and trying to go to sleep at the same time. It could mean a few uncomfortable nights if there is a time change in play, but worth it in the end. I wear earplugs every night, I love my Loop Quiet 2 Reusable Silicone Earplugs with 24dB Noise Reduction (CA | COM) they help especially when those odd noises in new places keep you up at night tossing and turning. The loops are easy to keep clean. Light can also be a factor, make sure you try to turn off electronics so there is no blue light and when we travel I bring my eye mask. Sleep Eye Mask for Men Women, Lash Extensions 3D Sleeping Mask for Side Sleeper, Blackout Night Blindfold Eye Shade Cover for Travel (CA | COM) Getting a good night sleep is vital to having mindful mornings. On vacation you don’t want to waste your time being sluggish from a lack of sleep, so prepare ahead. If you know a hotel chain that has comparable beds to your own you may want to try and book there, although that is not always viable. Sometimes a simple thing like bringing a silk pillowcase Mulberry Silk Pillow Cases Standard Size with Hidden Zipper, Ultra Smooth and Soft Breathable Cooling Silk Satin Pillowcase for Hair and Skin (CA | COM) or your favourite pillow spray Aromasong Lavender Pillow Spray - All Natural Calming Linen & Bedtime Mist for Deep Sleep (CA | COM) can make all the difference. Whatever you do that can help. We have even used a small sound machine Dreamegg Sunrise 1 Sound Machine Sunrise Alarm Clock (CA | COM). Just give yourself the best chance of getting a goodnight sleep. Remember reduce naps and do not have caffeine, alcohol or snacks too close to bed time as those also affect your sleep.

Wishing you many mindful nights! May you get the restful sleep for a productive tomorrow wherever you are.

Yours well rested, Ms. Mindful Traveller
