Answer 1

It is hard to sleep in a strange bed but most people adjust after a day or two. You must have been very exhausted! Here are some strategies you can try:
avoid or limit caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, especially in the evening
make sure none of your medications are affecting your sleep
go to bed and get up at the same time EVERY day
save the bed for sleeping and sex only...no tv
exercise daily at least 4 hours before bedtime
limit bedtime to 8 hours
do not nap
relax in the evenings...don't do anything stimulating
eat meals at regular times
try to avoid a bedtime snack
when in bed, concentrate on relaxing
get lots of sunshine
keep your bedroom quiet, dark, and cool
try a sleep mask
avoid beverages at night
try using white noise

I know some of these are hard to do when you travel but set the routine up at home and always carry it over (as much as possible) when you travel.

Also, don't be afraid to try Tylenol Simply Sleep when you travel. It is safe if taken as directed and if you don't need it all the time. If you use it only during travel times, it will be fine.
