Travel Lets You Catch up on Sleep
Lack of sleep, combined with the stress of a busy lifestyle, can leave you sick and irritable. Luckily, you can break the vicious cycle on your holiday.
You’ve probably heard that the average adult needs between seven and eight hours of sleep a night, but even if you hit that target, everyday worries can really disrupt the quality of sleep you get. Active days, a new routine, and a relaxing bedroom will help to improve your sleep hygiene and reset your relaxation routine. No matter your destination or type of holiday, be sure to set time aside to get a solid night’s sleep.
Although an around-the-world journey will surely shake things up, you don’t have to fly across the globe to enjoy the benefits of travel. In fact, a weekend trip here and there can bring the same excitement, inspiration, and rejuvenation as a longer journey, so make it a point to squeeze more getaways into your schedule throughout the year.
It’s great to revisit favorite haunts, but try to branch out and explore new places — that’s where you’ll find the biggest thrills, challenges and rewards.
