Sure, it would be great if you could always have a pillow top bed with 800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets on which to sleep after a long day of traveling. But, all too often, we find ourselves in airports, buses, train cars and other sundry places when the sun sets and bedtime comes. Other times, we have to steal naps whenever and wherever we can.

If you want to be well-rested on a trip, you need to learn very quickly to sleep in uncomfortable places. Bring a travel pillow, pack a sleep mask or self-medicate. Because no one is following you around with a California king and pre-fluffed pillows.
