# 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 <a href="https://amzn.to/3Qd2RJe" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">Loop Quiet 2 Reusable Silicone Earplugs with 24dB Noise Reduction</a> (<a href="https://amzn.to/3Qd2RJe" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">CA</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/4elr5Jm" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">COM</a>) 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. <a href="https://amzn.to/4ooJKIw" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">Sleep Eye Mask for Men Women, Lash Extensions 3D Sleeping Mask for Side Sleeper, Blackout Night Blindfold Eye Shade Cover for Travel</a> (<a href="https://amzn.to/4ooJKIw" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">CA</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/4fInSpy" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">COM</a>) 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 <a href="https://amzn.to/3QyXFPX" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">Mulberry Silk Pillow Cases Standard Size with Hidden Zipper, Ultra Smooth and Soft Breathable Cooling Silk Satin Pillowcase for Hair and Skin</a> (<a href="https://amzn.to/3QyXFPX" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">CA</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/3QltsUh" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">COM</a>) or your favourite pillow spray <a href="https://amzn.to/4vOi7LN" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">Aromasong Lavender Pillow Spray - All Natural Calming Linen & Bedtime Mist for Deep Sleep</a> (<a href="https://amzn.to/4vOi7LN" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">CA</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/4v6oKZL" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">COM</a>) can make all the difference. Whatever you do that can help. We have even used a small sound machine <a href="https://amzn.to/4ouQW6k" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">Dreamegg Sunrise 1 Sound Machine Sunrise Alarm Clock</a> (<a href="https://amzn.to/4ouQW6k" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">CA</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/4eFzTuE" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">COM</a>). 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.
