5 Ways To Keep Your Sleep Schedule Intact While Traveling

Before you read the five sleep tips that Marcel offers, I want to offer my bonus tip – the one that always works for me.

When I must take a morning flight that takes me across more than five time zones, I purposefully stay awake the night before the trip – ideally as much as possible. I often stay awake all night.

Pulling off an all-nighter completely disrupts my sleep schedule, which is exactly what I need!

By the time that I board the plane in the morning, I am so utterly exhausted, that I fall asleep on the plane. I arrive at my destination in the morning and I am relatively well-rested unlike most of my passengers.

The human’s internal cardinal rhythm is responsible for the sleep-wake cycle. Some people sleep only once a day while others sleep multiple times during the whole day.

Everyone follows a different sleep schedule or pattern. For instance, there is a monophasic sleep pattern and a polyphasic sleep pattern. When a person takes naps during the day, it means that a person is following a polyphasic sleep pattern. A monophasic sleep pattern refers to a person who sleeps only at night.

However, your sleeping pattern can be disturbed with a new work schedule or timing; moreover, traveling can also affect your sleeping routine.

You need to do certain things to keep your sleep schedule intact while you’re on the road.
