]]>Pack Properly
Make sure you have access to water, ear plugs, a sleeping mask, and a neck pillow in your hand luggage. Staying hydrated will help you relax and feel comfortable, and the sleep mask and ear plugs will block any lights or sounds that might keep you awake. The neck pillow is essential to avoid any aches and pains after touchdown.
Bring a Book
Take a relaxing read, or a soothing audiobook, that will help you drift off. Now is not the time to get stuck into that latest thriller. Some simple poetry might work, or even a text that is a little dry (but don’t take anything related to your work, as that is not a recipe for rest and relaxation). Read for about ten minutes, then put your earplugs in and sleeping mask on. Hopefully, you’ll find yourself nodding off in no time.
Pick Your Seating
Everyone has their own seat preferences, but if you’re really intent on getting some sleep, opt for a window seat. Nothing is more annoying than being on the point of sleep, only to have to get up to let someone go to the toilet. Sat in the window, you can rest easy knowing that nobody is going to tap you on the shoulder or jolt you awake with the snack cart.
Going to sleep on the plane feels like you’re stealing back some time for yourself, so if you want to recuperate before you’ve even checked into the hotel, remember these essentials next time you’re due to board.

]]>Sightseeing Trips
If you’re planning to spend most of your trip sightseeing, you don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn, but the earlier you do it—the better. Waking up early will make it possible to explore the city while the streets are not too busy and avoid big crowds.
Road Trips
Road trips aren’t as flexible, especially if you’re embarking on a day trip. The earlier you hit the road, the more time you’ll have to reach your final destination. If you’re sticking around for a single day, it’s important to leave the bed as early as possible because you won’t have enough time to explore everything you want otherwise.
Relaxing Trips
If your trip doesn’t have a specific goal, and you’re there to simply sit back and relax, don’t put too much pressure on yourself to get up early. Unless your hotel is serving an early breakfast, feel free to stay in bed and get some rest because you’re there to recharge your batteries.

]]>Party Hostels
Party hostels are all fun and games if partying happens to be the sole purpose of your travels, but they’re best avoided if that’s not the case. These types of hostels have a busy bar or nightclub on the premises, so the noise could get in the way of your good night’s sleep.
Wrong Location
Picking centrally located hostels usually feels like a great idea because all the major attractions are at your fingertips, but it doesn’t always work. Some of these hostels are located on busy streets with heavy traffic, and if you had the misfortune of booking one, at least try to get a bed that’s far from the window.
No Privacy Curtains
If you have trouble falling asleep with lights on, but still can’t afford a private room, hostel dorms with privacy curtains are your best bet. Check the photos and reviews before making a booking to make sure that your hostel offers them.
