]]> Some of the best travel experiences involve getting back to nature, immersing yourself in a culture totally different from your own, and disconnecting from the stresses of your daily life. However, this can sometimes mean staying in beautiful, rustic locations that have plenty of the good stuff but no air conditioning.

To avoid sleepless, sweaty nights ruining your trip, follow these top tips for coping when your accommodation doesn’t have AC.

Take a Cold Shower Before Bed

Take a cold shower to lower your body temperature and feel clean and refreshed before bed. You can also rinse a washcloth in cool water, ring it out, and put it on your forehead or the back of your neck.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water, with ice if your accommodation has some available. This will help cool you down AND it will keep you hydrated which is super important if you’re sweating a lot.

Keep the Blinds Shut

Shut the blinds before you leave in the morning. This will help to stop the sun beaming into your room and heating it up throughout the day. If safe to do so, leave the windows open to get some airflow.

Borrow or Purchase a Fan

While your accommodation may not have built-in AC, there may well be a standing or desk fan kicking about somewhere. Ask if you can borrow one and place it right by your bed. This will also help keep mosquitoes away!

]]> Your sleeping habits can set the tempo for your entire trip. Getting up early is recommended for some kinds of trips, while it’s best avoided with others, and this brief guide can help you determine when to wake up.

Road Trips and Day Trips

Sleeping in is not an option when you’re planning to embark on a road trip or a day trip. If it takes you more than two hours to reach the final destination, you should wake up at the crack of dawn and hit the road as soon as possible to make sure you have enough time to see everything you want.

Sightseeing Trips

Sightseeing trips offer a little bit more flexibility than road trips, but waking up early is still recommended. If you go exploring in the morning, the streets won’t be so crowded, and you’ll get to enjoy the city more than you would during peak hours.

Relaxing Trips

If the main purpose of your trip is relaxation, there’s no need to get up early—unless your hotel is serving breakfast and you want to get there in time. When it comes to summer vacations and party trips, sleeping in isn’t a huge problem, because you’re there to get some rest from your daily life.

]]> Hostels are the best accommodation option for people who want to keep their travels budget-friendly, but they come with a couple of downsides. Lack of privacy in a hostel dorm can make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep, and here are three types of hostels to avoid if you’re frequently dealing with this problem.

Dorm Type

The majority of hostel dorms offer beds with privacy curtains, but that’s not always the case. If you struggle to fall asleep when there’s too much light in the room or when other guests are being too noisy, privacy curtains could make things a little bit easier.

Party Hostels

Party hostels are a great option for young travelers looking for some fun, but you won’t get proper rest while staying at one. If a hostel has a busy bar or nightclub on the premises, you should look for a different place to stay because the noise could get unbearable.

Heavy Traffic

Hostels located on the street with heavy traffic can also be a nightmare. If you can’t assess if that’s the case with the hostel you’re considering booking, take a bed that’s not located too close to the windows to avoid the noise.

Between the jet lag, excitement, and unfamiliar sleeping arrangements, there are tons of reasons why you may not be getting a good night’s sleep when traveling, and here are three things you should avoid in order to get quality sleep.

Late Night Dining and Drinking

Eating or drinking alcohol to close to when you want to head to sleep is never a good idea as your body needs time to digest food and drinks. If you’re hungry before bed, eat a very light snack.

Skipping Workouts

Exercising has a positive impact on sleep, making it easier to fall asleep and have quality sleep. You don’t have to hit the gym during your vacation, but try and incorporate light exercise like renting a bike or taking a walking tour.

Choosing a Bad Hotel

Before booking a hotel. try searing for the world “sleep” to see if there have been complaints about people being unable to sleep due to noise, thin walls, mattresses or pillows, or room temperature.

]]> What could be better than sleeping under a starry sky, waking up in the morning by a lake or a creek, and spending the day hiking or reading a book in a hammock? No hotel can match the direct proximity to nature provided by camping. To get the most out of the experience, though, you should be prepared and equipped with everything you need for a night in the wild.

Tent

The most basic equipment you need for camping is of course the tent where you will spend the night. Unless you and your partner are interested in dense intimacy, it is always best to choose a tent designed for at least one person more than your group size.

Sleeping Bag

The sleeping bag should be chosen depending on the location, season, and nature of the trip. Consider the weight of the sleeping bag, and whether you will have to carry it on your back or in a car.

Some travelers prefer to sleep on a mattress instead of in a sleeping bag, especially on hot summer nights. In this case, it is recommended to choose a space mattress, easy to carry and fold.

]]> 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.

]]> If you’re traveling to top tourist destinations in hope you’ll get to sleep until noon, that probably won’t and shouldn’t happen. Getting up early is essential if you want to explore a new city to the fullest, and here’s a couple of reasons why you should avoid sleeping in at all costs.

Avoiding the Crowds

If you sleep for long, you’ll probably reach top tourist spots during peak times, when they’re the most crowded and the least enjoyable. That’s why you should always consider getting up early and experiencing them in their full glory, without the sea of people around you.

Covering More Ground

The more time you have on your hands, the more you’ll get to see. That’s why you should rise and shine early in the morning, and check out things from your bucket list while the day is young.

Making it on Time

Some places you want to visit probably aren’t open 24/7, and you won’t get to see them if you lay around all day. It’s also important to develop good sleeping habits during your trip since you’ll eventually have to get up early for your check-out.
