Fun adventures and good sleep go hand in hand in my book! After a long day on the road or out playing, I'm ready for a good night's sleep. I’ve learned that it is important to invest in high-quality mattresses and nice bedding sets. I’ll do a future post on what mattress and bedding brands we like; this post will cover the personal “essentials” that help make #vanlife sleep absolutely dreamy! 

For a good night’s sleep:

1. Comfortable pajamas and travel slippers: Sure you can wear an old tshirt and sweats to bed but why not invest in a nice, high-quality pajama set and some cozy slippers?
2. Sleep mask and ear plugs: Sometimes you are stuck with a noisy campground or stealth camping in a Cracker Barrel parking lot overnight. Or moochdocking in a friend’s driveway. Be prepared with something to block out both light and noise for a better night’s sleep! 
3. Lavender essential oil: Lavender is a calming scent that I love to use before bed or just to make things smell nice, which can come in handy not just at bedtime.
