Rest easy while you're on the road with these travel-friendly sleep products.
Ever wonder why you have trouble sleeping when you're away from home? Turns out there's a
scientific explanation:
when you sleep in a new place, part of your brain remains alert during
the night to keep you aware of any threats, making you more susceptible
to waking up, according to a new study published in the journal
Current Biology.
Since nobody wants to feel groggy on vacation, we've rounded up some
sleep accessories that can help you nod off quickly and keep you
snoozing until it’s breakfast-in-bed time.
1 LectroFan White Noise Machine
When sleeping in an unfamiliar place, sounds you're
not used to can be extra jarring, whether it's honking horns on a busy
city street, noisy guests in your neighboring hotel room, or a rattling
radiator. Traveling with a compact
white noise machine will drone out the noise and lull you to sleep. The LectroFan is a
Health editors' favorite because it has a variety of noises to choose from, and is tiny enough to toss into your carryon.

If you're a light sleeper and don't want to invest the
money or suitcase space in a white noise machine, then ear plugs are
your next best option. This set of 50 ensures you'll get through your
entire trip in comfortable silence.

4 Convertible Down Travel Blanket
This super-soft travel blanket packs down into a small
pouch; a strap allows you to hook it around your carryon handle for
easy transport. Use it for extra comfort on the airplane, or curl up
with it in your hotel (because who wants to snuggle with the same
blanket countless other guests have already used?).

Pillows
are pretty personal thing—if you’re very particular about where you lay
your head at night, then you may want to bring one from home. If you
don't have the space for that, then try packing a pillowcase from home.
The familiar scent of your detergent and the feel of the fabric on your
face will trick your mind into thinking you’re in your own bed. We
recommend the SlipSilk Pure Silk Pillowcase, a 100% silk case that
promises to prevent wrinkles and fight frizzy hair.
