With warmer weather approaching for many parts of the nation, people may be considering their summer vacation plans. Whether road-tripping, camping1, going overseas, visiting family or exploring new parts of the United States, packing lists should include not only sleep therapy equipment but also everything else needed to make maintaining sleep therapy away from home a breeze.
According to the American Medical Association2, around 6 million Americans have a sleep disorder diagnosis that may benefit from sleep therapy. However, it's believed that many more individuals experience disrupted sleep, and the prevalence3 is growing. Poor-quality sleep has wide-ranging health impacts4, including contributing to chronic conditions and affecting mood5 and mental health. Moreover, untreated sleep conditions have many medical and economic consequences6. Sleep therapy ensures people get high-quality sleep, which benefits their day-to-day energy levels and overall health.
While it may be tempting to skip sleep therapy while traveling, continuous use7 is strongly recommended. This article details convenient products to pack alongside your sleep equipment for a hassle-free sleep therapy experience8 and plenty of quality rest.
Travel Pillow
Using a specially designed pillow9 can boost comfort and sleep therapy adherence. Packing the smaller Ultimate Sleep Equipment Travel Pillow10 maximizes baggage space without skimping on a good night's rest. Accommodating both side and front sleepers, the compact travel pillow prevents sleep therapy devices from moving during the night, reducing equipment leaks and pressure soreness. It can easily sit on top of a regular pillow for those who prefer greater head height in bed.
Backup Battery and Accessories
A handy battery backup11 means people can always use their sleep equipment, even without electricity. Placed between the outlet and equipment, there's no concern of the power cutting out during the night if traveling in areas with an unreliable electricity supply. Compact and convenient, the backup battery also lasts for up to 10 hours, providing nighttime power in places without electricity. Portable solar panel and car chargers make it easy to recharge on the go — meaning that nowhere is off-limits for summer adventures.
SoClean Travel Case
Maintain your sleep equipment to the highest standard even on the go, and bring your SoClean 3 with you12. Compatible with all major sleep equipment brands, the SoClean 3 features one touch maintenance and a choice of cleaning cycles — including a speedy 5-minute refresh.
It's easy to transport your SoClean, thanks to SoClean Premium Travel Cases13, suitable for the SoClean 3. Padded interiors keep devices safe and secure, and there's plenty of space to also house accessories such as spare filters and power supplies.
Cleaning Wipes
SoClean's unscented wipes14 help quickly refresh sleep equipment parts between hand-washing routines15. The alcohol- and latex-free cotton wipes are hypoallergenic, biodegradable and made from natural ingredients. They're gentle on equipment while removing oil and dirt buildup for more sanitary sleep therapy devices.
Enjoy your summer and sleep soundly while traveling with these invaluable sleep therapy equipment accessories.
