I'm currently staying in a hotel in Spain (on a business trip) where the bed is so uncomfortable that I can't sleep! Also, the hotel is just noisy (people playing music and talking loudly) despite it being 3.30 am!
What can i do? I'm supposed to be doing a trade show, so I need my sleep, and moving hotels is not an option due to costs!
Please help!

Your company must be a bunch of tightwads to send you to such a place. You can request another room citing the condition of the bed and the noise situation. You should bring the noise to the hotel's attention. I don't know local Spanish law, but there may be disturbing the peace ordinances, and at the very least, the hotel should provide peaceful lodgings.

Count imaginary sheep. Think of a fence and a sheep jumping the fence. Count them and you will fall asleep.
Make sure the room is moderately cool. Make sure that the room is dark, and there is not much light shining through under the door; if there is, put a towel there or something. The darker it is, the better you sleep.
If you're awake for half an hour and not getting any sleepier, get up and do something quiet; you're probably asking questions on Yahoo now. After fifteen minutes, go to bed and repeat the process.

See if you can find a radio or CD player with headphones so you can listen to something soothing or dull. The only thing you can do is make the best of the uncomfortable bed. Are there extra blankets you can pile on the mattress.. You could try taking a warm shower. Maybe the front desk has ear plugs.

If the bed mattess it too soft, put it on the floor. If it is too hard, put a pillow under your knees while laying on your back. As for the noise, turn on a radio with soft music or turn on the shower for some "white noise" to kill the sound coming from the other rooms. Or just put some kind of ear plugs in your ear, like damp tissues to block the sound.
Good luck.

Ask for additional blankets to put on tp of the mattress - also invest in some earplugs to drown out the noisy guests. What about asking for a different room in the motel?

I dont have an answer about the bed, but try turning the fan on high and tuning the noise out. Concentrate on the sound of the fan instead of the people and music.

I do this all the time in Europe- throw the mattress on the floor, even if it means rearranging the furniture, Then put it back when you leave the room, in case the maid comes in. And buy some earplugs!

splash your face with some cool water, put something soothing on the radio, real low and try to concentrate on that. Also if you can sleep on top of th conforter with just a sheet or blanket it helps soften the lumpy bed

jack daniels to the rescue...
(cue music)
cue sound... and action...
scene... a man lies awake in an uncomfortable bed... he tosses and turns, he cant sleep...
cut to; shaft of moonlight... peeking between heavy curtains.. and close in on the sqquare bottle with a black label...
man rolls over..and see his saviour... MMM captain Jack...
zoom in pull back and fade... glug glug glug...
wipe fade and close up on half a bottle... pan... the door hanging off the mini fridge... small bottle dance to the rhythm of the next door all night party...
close in on sweaty forehead.. raised furrows, and angry eyebrows... your eyes move surreptitiously around the room... stopping suddenly and doing a double take...
illuminated by the shaft of moonilight is the baseball bat of indetrminable grief... and absolute silence... (once the screaming dies down) jack smiles and cocks his hat... and says goodnight...
and if this remedy fails, well, tommorow night invite Mr Beam and the chainsaw brothers...
sorry mate.. some guys ar just plain inconsiderate...

Get some ear plugs and a new room or at least a new bed.
