I’m in Dublin for a week, staying with Miss. M. We’re still completely wiped from the weekend and I can’t seem to catch up on the sleep debt that I’ve accumulated over the past few weeks. Last night we made dinner in, turned on the fireplace and watched three straight episodes of Sex and the City. A girly night in. As fun as all of this travel is, it can also be really exhausting!
A few tips on how to nurse a travel hangover:
- get plenty of sleep
- eat healthy meals
- stay hydrated
- schedule a weekend of sleeping in
- wear comfy shoes all week long
- clear your schedule for the next week (it will give you peace of mind about the mind space that you have to rest up)
- do not have coffee or sugar
- settle into your daily routine: do laundry, clean your house, go for a walk in the neighbourhood (half the exhaustion is mental, so trick your mind into feeling it’s definitely home)
- exercise (in my experience, this is the best cure for any mental or physical ailment, and it’s so good for you!)
