The role of sleep is very
important in everyday life, according to health consultants.
Sleep is an excellent avenue
to reinvigorate oneself as well as boost productivity. However, many people are
finding it harder to get enough of it because they have to meet up with
deadlines or satisfy one family demand or the other.
For travellers, it may be even
worse because they leave their homes and traipse the globe engaging in
activities which can leave them exhausted and uncomfortable at night.
As hotels are unfamiliar
terrains, they may also find it difficult to sleep. Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 Hotel
Booking Portal shares some tips on how you can rest better in a hotel.
Book a quiet room
To nap better in a hotel,
don’t book a room close to the swimming pool or near the
elevator. Staying close to these areas are a perfect recipe for a sleepless day
because you can’t keep people away from these places. So, inform the
receptionists that you want a quiet suite.
‘Do Not Disturb’
Almost every hotel has this
sign hung on the door. If your food and laundry have been delivered as
appropriate, you can display the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the door. Sometimes
this may not be necessary because you can order everything you want either
online or on the phone. So, you only get what you ordered for. However, ensure
that you pick calls especially that of the hotel phone because it may be an
emergency.
Bring your pillow
Obviously, you can’t carry
your whole bed while travelling but you can take your pillow along with you.
This is one slumber property that you are used to, at least. The only
shortcoming is that it may be a burden to log around but, if this can help you
sleep, why not just bring it along with you?

Bring movies you enjoy at home
If you find it uneasy to sleep
in unfamiliar places, you can attempt to create a home away from home
experience in your hotel. It may be a Nollywood movie shut in Enugu or Abuja. Your favourite may be
Hollywood.
In your spare time, you can
watch the movies you brought along from home on your laptop. It will take your
mind of the immediate environment and limit your concern about relaxation in an
unfamiliar terrain. A little scented candles or spritzing yourfavourite perfume around the room can help calm your
nerves.
Get out of bed if you can’t sleep
Sleep can be funny at times.
Some nights, you are left with nothing to do but toss and turn. When these
moments arise, try not to force it rather, just stand up to take a cold bath,
read a magazine or even practice yoga. With this, you may not even know when you
will fall asleep.
