When you’re living the RV life, the last thing you want to do is sleep. After all, you’ve got places to go, people to see and things to do. However, even the most active RVer needs some shuteye. But that’s easier said than done, especially if you’re traveling back and forth from many different states and are still excited from the day’s activities. However, to make sure you can still get the sleep you need and have enough energy to tackle tomorrow’s adventures, here are some tips on how to make sure you sleep like a baby.
Eat Healthy
While hard to do, eating healthy will virtually guarantee a good night’s sleep. Yes, it’s tempting to stop off at a burger joint and have the latest double and triple-bacon burger, but resisting that temptation and having a light salad or pasta will make you feel much better at bedtime. Also, avoid caffeinated beverages such as coffee, soda or energy drinks prior to bedtime, or you’ll be wired all night long.
Meditate
More people are discovering the benefits of meditation, and so should you. Sitting quietly in a dark room and letting go of the day’s worries can work wonders before lying down for the night. Many people report feeling completely rejuvenated when they wake up the next morning, especially people who consider themselves light sleepers.
Read a Good Book
For many people, there’s nothing more relaxing than reading a chapter or two before dozing off. If you’ve got a favorite author, be sure to have a book with you while on the road. Many people visit local bookstores or libraries wherever they may be at the time, enabling them to make new friends while finding a good book to read. Experts suggest reading inspirational books or humorous books before bedtime, ensuring you’ll be in a happy and optimistic mood when you close your eyes.
Mellow Out with Music
Music is universally known for relaxing humans and animals, so having some favorite songs by your bed will send you off to pleasant dreams. Musical preferences vary from classical to pop to religious to country, so choose wisely..
By trying these tips, you’ll be able to wake up each day and be ready to take the wheel on the way to your next great adventure on the highway.
