This is a myth. Unless you are dead tired and utterly exhausted, you'll never sleep all that well in a hotel room because in the back of your little mammalian brain you'll always "know" that it's not "home," and you won't ever feel entirely comfortable until you've slept there for a few nights.
So it's not really like the "escape" herein described.
Unless you travel all the time, in which case again, it's not really an "escape" and is just more of the same.
Skill issue
But in all seriousness, it's not a universal condition. I can sleep fine. I haven't travelled that much in my life, but this year I was on the road for half of it. Hotels with thin walls, car traffic with an open window, the lot. Never had problems sleeping.
Idk I've never had issues sleeping while traveling, and I don't do it very often.
I'm now in my third week of my trip, I've slept in at least six different places, and I've yet to feel comfortable sleeping. There's a feeling of uneasy I can't shake off .
I love that feeling, because of my wife, we happened to travel a lot, and I mean way more than what's considered a healthy amount of holidays.
Now visiting a foreign city is nothing new, same of the same. Sleeping in hotel is the usual thing, but I miss the first times we travelled, the wonder and mystery of a new place and that feeling of "I don't belong here".
I havent really experienced that tbh. But unlike (seemingly) most people these days I don't really have issues with falling asleep in general. I fall asleep just fine in hotels. Personally my issue with hotels is that it usually gets quite messy due to the limited space and also I sometimes get a sore back from the too soft beds.
The trick is get drunk before sleep. Or sleeping pills
This is so fucking true!
Also, if you've got a long series of flights, get drunk the night before and you can save yourself a lot of trouble by sleeping through most of the nonsense.
Ask me how I know.
Wrong!!
If you are depressed enough you can sleep anywhere
I sleep great in hotels, as long as they have good pillows and a comfortable bed.
