5 Ways to Sleep in a Party Hostel

3. Arm Yourself with Meds

Occasionally, it can be helpful to use an outside resource to find sleep in a party hostel. Advil PM or others like it can be a huge relief after a long day of travel. I personally am a fan of melatonin, a natural hormone that helps your body sleep. This coupled with magnesium (a vitamin that will help your aching muscles) can do wonders.

If you need something more serious, there are other jet lag drug options. You probably want to avoid the heavy duty drugs that have warnings like “participants didn’t remember what they did while on it,” because you’ll want your senses around you in a hostel. However, sometimes just a nudge can help you get past the noise and light and annoyance to fall asleep.

(But as with all medication, use responsibly and talk to your doctor if you have any concerns. You know, the standard end-of-a-medical-commercial stuff.)

How to Make Friends During Your Trip

One of the biggest fears of people who want to embark on a solo trip is being alone. They think meeting new people will be a struggle, and if they can’t find a partner to travel with, they just cancel or postpone their adventure. The truth is that with a little bit of planning and initiative, it’s actually harder to be alone than you think. The travel community is extremely welcoming and one doesn’t need to try hard to be part of it.
