Sleeping in a Hotel Room with Kids: How to Survive (And Actually Sleep)

About this episode

This episode provides practical tips for families on how to manage sleep when sharing a hotel room with kids.

One of the questions I get most often from families preparing ot travel is: "How do we all sleep when we're sharing a hotel room?" If you're nervous about sharing a hotel room with your baby or toddler, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing practical tips we've used with our own family and the strategies I recommend to clients for making hotel room sleep easier. We'll cover everything from creating separation in a shared space and packing the right sleep essentials to wake-ups and maintaining realistic expectations while you're away. Travel sleep doesn't have to be perfect to be successful. And a few simple adjustments can make a big difference! Make sure you snag our FREE packing list here !
