Sleep basics
Small changes that help hostel sleep.
- Wake up at the same time every day, even after a late night.
- Put the phone away 30–60 minutes before bed. Use night mode if you can't.
- Avoid tea, coffee and energy drinks after 4 pm.
- If you can't sleep after 20 minutes, get up and do something calm in dim light.
- Earplugs and an eye mask help with noisy rooms and early light.
- Short naps (under 30 minutes) before 4 pm are fine. Long naps make nights harder.
