Sleep and travel

Sleep and our mental health are closely related. Stress and worry can keep you awake at night, and that in turn can make you feel anxious or depressed. There are additional concerns to take into account when travelling, such as disrupted nights, early starts, and the impact of jetlag.

This one-page PDF guide from Unilever explains some of the factors of travelling that affect how well we sleep. It includes tips on how to prepare for an upcoming trip, how to reduce jetlag quickly, and what to eat to counter the effects of travel.

It is ideal for organisations and line managers to share with their staff to help start conversations around good sleep and healthy habits. It could also be used as a template for a sleep and wellbeing guide tailored to your own organisation.
