Sleep Tips for Travelers
Sleep Tips for Hotel Visitors
- Request a room away from stairways, vending machines, or busy roads to avoid late-night noise.
- Try to stay awake without naps so you are ready for a full night's sleep.
- Limit caffeine and alcohol, which can keep you up or make you drowsy. Stay well-hydrated to avoid the effects of both.
- Exercise can give you energy in the morning or wipe you out for the night. Know what exercise time is best for you.
- Listen to relaxing music or watch stress-free TV before you go to sleep to help you wind down for the night.
Sleep Tips for Frequent Flyers
- Try to schedule your flights so that you arrive in time to get a full night's sleep.
- Request seats in emergency rows or on the aisle for maximum leg room.
- Wear loose, layered clothing on the plane. Get comfortable.
- Prepare your body for new time zones. Try to go to bed earlier before you head east, later before you go west.
Sleep Tips for Road Travelers
- Avoid driving more than ten hours per day and try to stop every two hours or 100 miles.
- Plan on driving during daytime hours when you are normally awake.
- Try to alternate drivers on long trips. If you are tired, stop and sleep.
Testimonials
Katie K — Columbus, OH
"I just wanted to tell you about how nice our stay at the Radisson was because of the Sleep Number bed. I can't believe how well I slept. Thank you for the night with absolutely no tossing and turning."
Rodney — Onamia, MN
"I don't own a Sleep Number bed, but had the opportunity to sleep in one at the Radisson Hotel and it was unbelievable. Usually, I can't sleep well in hotels, plus I have back problems to top it off. I laid down for the night and set the number to 45 which was most comfortable for me and I fell asleep within seconds and woke up the next morning feeling better than I have ever felt in years."
Nanette — OH
"I had to travel to MN about a month ago and I stayed at the Radisson, they actually have Sleep Number beds at the hotel there. So I found my number, which by the way is 20, and I slept like a baby! Normally, being away from home you sometimes don't sleep quite as well but let me tell you, I slept the best I had in a long time! They want me to travel again and I'm going to tell them, you better find me a Radisson."
Lucinda — CA
"I was on business in Colorado Springs. I have been having problems with my back since I broke my ankle some years ago. I didn't realize that the Radisson Hotel where I stayed had a Sleep Number bed. I was in my heaven and I didn't have any problems with my back the whole time I was there. The hostess showed me how to use the control and that was all there was to it."
