5 Drinks for a Restful Sleep After a Long Trip

Do you struggle with restless sleep after a long day of travel? Maybe even magnified if you crossed several time zones! We all know that feeling of exhaustion mixed with an inability to get a deep, restful sleep – it seems so ironic, but it happens to many travelers.

If you’d like to sleep like a baby when you arrive at your destination, here are a few drinks to try that will make your eyelids a little heavier.

Infusions or Hot Tea

It’s no secret that infusions and teas are one of the best remedies for a good night’s sleep. No matter where you’re staying, it’ll always be easy to find a hot chamomile or lavender tea. These two teas specifically have properties to help you fall asleep sweetly and will bring a wash of tranquility over your body.

A Glass of Milk 

This may sound simple, but if you’re able to drink milk without any issues, a cup of warm milk is ideal as a bedtime sleep aid. It can help you relax like nothing else. Pamper yourself a little by adding a few cookies for dipping.

Hot Chocolate

Not just for the kids — hot chocolate is also an excellent sleep remedy! Chocolate has a soothing and relaxing effect on the body that can be enhanced when mixed with a little cinnamon. In many Mexican destinations, they also serve hot chocolate with water, so if you’re lactose intolerant, this is a great alternative.

Relaxing Cocktail

Of course, one of the most relaxing things is a smooth cocktail nightcap. There’s a new boutique hotel in Los Cabos that offers a unique in-room nightcap service! Mar del Cabo is a charming hotel with character and class, offering delicious cuisine, tasty drinks and bespoke services.

Simply call the concierge and ask for the nightcap kit – and they’ll bring you all the tools, mixers and equipment so you can create a delicious drink to help you sleep. Not an expert bartender? No worries! They’ll bring you a recipe card with the  preparation details! Wrap the day with this unique and delicious nightcap service and sleep peacefully after a long day of travel!

Although there are many drinks to choose from, we recommend the Rum Flip – it’s a favorite. If you’re far from Los Cabos, try making at home!
