Your sleep pattern will probably suffer when you’re traveling because you’ll have to get used to constantly sleeping in different beds, but this won’t be the only issue you’ll be facing. Some hostels are so noisy it’s a miracle if you get any sleep at all, and here are some tips to handle them.
Right Bunk
You can’t pick a bunk on your own at every hostel, but whenever you’re allowed to do this – use it to your advantage. The best way to avoid loud sounds is to skip beds that are located in close proximity to windows and doors because they’ll leave you exposed to the noise.
Sleep Equipment
Hostel dorms can be problematic even if you’re not staying at a loud hostel. People are coming in and going out all the time, so make sure to equip yourself with an eye mask and ear plugs, and use your towels to block out the light if your bed doesn’t come with a privacy curtain.
Better Pick
Sleeping at a noisy hostel is something that can be avoided if you’re careful enough before booking it. Read reviews before making the final decision, and avoid all the places where your fellow travelers had a hard time falling asleep because of the noise.
