Top Tips from Swanwick Team on How to Sleep On a Plane

Hurray! The holidays are almost upon us! For some of you, this means planning a trip abroad or to other states to reunite with your relatives. I know I will be joining in all the merriment and travel to see my family a few hours away. While it may be a relatively short distance, I always try to squeeze in a quick nap. But I’ve always struggled to fall asleep on a plane. Do you also have trouble relaxing during your travels? After enduring a restless trip last year, I decided to make a checklist on how to sleep on a plane or relax during my trips - whether it is long or a short one. I hope my checklist saves you some stress and helps you get some good naps during your holiday trips this year. Here are a few must-haves for your upcoming trips:

Sleep Mask

You don’t always have the luxury to control your sleep environment on a plane. But a sleep mask will help eliminate any distracting light that makes it hard to fall asleep; plus it will give you that extra privacy too. Our 100% Oversized Silk Sleep Mask is the perfect solution! This lightweight and super-soft eyeshade can naturally relax your eyes, and it creates an ideal sleep environment by blocking out all the light.

Earplugs

It can get rather noisy on a crowded plane, plus the altitude can cause discomfort to your eardrums. Our Sound Blocking Earplugs will help you reduce any disturbances, so you can sleep better whether you’re on a plane, a train or in a car.

Travel Neck Pillow

A neck pillow will provide both support and comfort throughout the plane ride. Using a nifty pillow when you travel will minimize putting pressure on your neck while you sleep. It’s definitely a must-have!

Hypnotherapy
