Irrelevant where you are travelling to, most of us have the same desire: rest, relaxation and recovery. We try to reach this at the sea, at a lake or in the mountains. Being sleepless on holiday truly is a no-go. But, stress often starts with the journey, mostly connected with some strains (long drive with the car or train, waiting at the airport, etc.). So, what is the biggest wish when arriving? Having a restful night and a beautiful sleep. But, what to do when sleep just won’t come? You lie in bed awake, unable to fall asleep.
Reasons and causes
Stress and nervousness: After a long arrival our body is exhausted. You feel like sleeping right away. But, unlike our body our mind is wide awake. The nervousness of arrival is further preventing coming to a rest. Also, everyday worries are not easily left behind. Your body as well as your mind have to adapt to the new situation. Try to go for a walk, to relax in a warm bath or to drink a relaxing cup of tea. Balm and valerian are natural sleeping aids.
Jetlag after long distance flights: The further your holiday destination is the higher the probability of sleeplessness. A long distance flight interferes with your biorhythm. Travelling west prolongs your day, travelling east shortens it. Try to sleep when it is night at your destination. This makes an adaption easier.
Climate change: Often, a fast climate change leads to sleeplessness. Especially, when the temperatures at your destination are high. Darken your bedroom during the day, too. Only air early in the morning and late in the evening.
Sumptuous food: The evening buffet is tempting. But, try to resist an opulent meal. Your stomach would be busy with digestion and you wouldn’t find rest.
Strange bed: Many have difficulties sleeping in a strange bed. So, when reserving a hotel room already take a closer look to the furnishing and place your wishes. Ask for a quiet room. If possible, bring your own pillow. More and more hotels learn about the importance of restful sleep and offer special rooms.
