5 Tips To Sleep Well When Travelling

At Nobu we live to travel, it’s what inspires us. However as exhilarating as traveling can be, it often comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep. Whether you’re crossing time zones or sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings, prioritizing quality rest is essential for enjoying your travels to the fullest.

Find Your Zen (and yes, that means no screens)

It’s key to find a calming pre-bedtime routine that promotes relaxation and signals your body that’s it’s time to transition from wakefulness to sleep. It’s crucial to avoid screens like smartphones, tablets, and laptops before bedtime. The blue light emitted by these devices can disrupt your sleep-wake cycle by suppressing the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. Instead, take your cue from Nobu-san and experiment with deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or visualization techniques to unwind and release tension accumulated throughout the day. Even something as simple as reading a book or having a nighttime skincare ritual can help set you up for a good night’s sleep.

Stay Active During the Day

Getting active is one of the sure-fire ways to maintain healthy sleep patterns. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week – bonus points for getting active outdoors. Avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime, as it can stimulate your body and make it harder to fall asleep.

Beat Jet Lag Like a Pro

Traveling across time zones can disrupt your internal body clock, leading to jet lag and sleep disturbances. Combat jet lag by gradually adjusting your sleep schedule before traveling. Try going to bed and waking up slightly earlier or later, depending on your destination’s time zone, a few days before your trip. If you arrive at your destination during the daytime, resist the urge to take a long nap, as it can make it harder to adjust to the new time zone. Instead, try to stay awake until local bedtime, remember to stay hydrated, and expose yourself to natural sunlight to help regulate those circadian rhythms.

Turn On Relaxing Sounds

Relaxing sounds have the remarkable ability to evoke feelings of tranquility and promote relaxation, making them an invaluable tool for improving sleep. Whether it’s the rhythmic lullaby of ocean waves, or the harmonious melodies of soft music, these sounds can soothe the senses and create a sleep positive atmosphere. Turn on the KLORIS Spotify playlist and slip into deep relaxation and restorative sleep.
