A good night’s sleep is the difference between simply getting through the day and actually performing at your best. It’s when both, your mind and your body, rejuvenates. If you cannot give yourself a whole night of sleep, and prefer to study instead, you need to make sure you get sufficient rest during the day, both of which can be challenging if you don’t have your own silent isolation. A shared hostel room can make such an undisturbed recharging of your battery a challenge. The auditory interferences from your roommates who don’t necessarily follow your sleep schedule can be an ordeal to work through. However, there are solutions. Here are a few ways to maintain a sleep-friendly hostel room so that you can rest and work, both at your convenience.

  • Talk to your roommates: The only way you can have your needs for this shared space met is communication with those who share the space with you. Devise a schedule that promises a sleep-friendly hostel room whenever you require it to be one. Together you can reach a compromise and end up with a schedule that suits everyone the best. From here, it’s just a matter of sticking to the schedule.
  • Noise-cancelling technology: Earplugs, headphones and other devices that feature noise cancellation can be used to give yourself the silent, sleep-friendly hostel room even while your roommates are being noisy.
  • Set the mood with lighting: It’s not just the sounds when it comes to allowing yourself to sleep. It’s also the lights. Creating the right kind of lighting that facilitates a mood for sleep at the same time allowing your roommates to go about their lives as desired is an important part of building a sleep-friendly hostel room environment.
  • Keep your bed clean and inviting: Despite sharing the room with others, make sure your bed is always neat and clean if it’s near time for your sleep. Don’t allow your roommates to get carried away with your side of a bed for their needs, leaving it a mess.
  • Mindfulness: Train your mind to be unaffected by the chaos of daily lives of roommates. If you’re able to sustain stillness through meditative and mindful practices, sights and sounds would just pass right through you despite seeming intrusive otherwise.
  • Sleeping aids: Try sleep aids like blackout curtains, calming essential oils, or a soothing playlist. These subtle things can reinforce your sleep-friendly hostel room without invading your roommate’s space.
