Quick Answer: Follow These Tips For Great Sleep!

It’s easy to catch some shuteye on a charter bus if you’re prepared! Bring along your favorite travel pillow and blanket, and don’t forget an eye mask and noise-canceling headphones to block out light and sound. Wear loose, breathable clothing, and pack water and light snacks to keep yourself hydrated and comfortable. If you need anything else—access to a restroom or extra legroom—just ask your reservation specialist at 864-813-3950 when you call to book your bus rental. We’ll make sure you have everything you need for a good night’s sleep!

Wear Comfortable Clothes

If possible, wear clothes that are soft, breathable, and don't wrinkle easily. We recommend dressing in layers and bringing a light jacket—your charter bus rental will have in-cabin air conditioning and you may even be able to adjust airflow for your seat, but having layering options is always a smart idea. Avoid tight, restrictive clothing, short skirts, and scratchy materials that will make it difficult to sleep comfortably on your bus.

Bring the Right Gear

Are you the type of person who can sleep without a pillow, or do you need to bring one to prop against the window? Will the chatter of your fellow passengers help you fall asleep, or do you need noise-canceling headphones? Do you need an eye mask? Do you get cold easily and need a blanket? Only you know what works for you, so set yourself up for success by bringing your 'must-have' comfort items for a restful charter bus ride.

Many long-distance bus passengers like to keep a small toiletry bag in their carry-on, purse, or backpack with essentials like a comb, toothbrush, wet wipes, and deodorant. These small grooming and hygiene items can go a long way in terms of your comfort, so don't hesitate to store them in your bus rental's overhead parcel rack.

Stay Hydrated and Eat Snacks

No one can stay comfortable on an empty stomach. Bring a water bottle and pick the right snacks for your bus trip to ensure you're well-rested throughout your charter bus journey. Light, non-perishable snacks that aren't messy or odorous are perfect for bus rides, and be sure to avoid caffeinated beverages. If you're worried that drinking water will make you have to go between stops, talk with your reservation specialist to secure a charter bus rental with an in-cabin restroom to minimize pit stops.

Choose Your Seat Wisely

If you have the option to choose where you sit on your bus rental, picking a spot in the middle of the cabin is the best way to sleep on a bus. Seats near the entry doors are high-traffic areas, and you're more likely to feel bumps in the road if you sit toward the back.

Also, like in an airplane cabin, folks who sit near the window rather than the aisle are more likely to catch some shut-eye and are less likely to have to get up to let their seatmate out. Before your bus departs, have a chat with the passenger sitting next to you about what would make you both the most comfortable.

Stretch It Out

No matter how comfortable a plush, reclining seat on a charter bus can be, sitting in the same position for multiple hours at a time can take a toll on your body. Be sure to stand up, stretch, and get your blood circulating when your charter bus pulls into a pit stop. That way, you're less likely to develop sciatic pain (aka lower back and tailbone pain) throughout your group outing and be able to fall asleep on your bus easily.
