Travel Guidelines for Mental Balance

1. Protect Sleep Windows

Keep regular resting hours even across time zones. Reserve your first 24 hours at the destination for sleep and quiet recovery.

2. Schedule Buffer Days

Avoid packed sightseeing schedules. Follow one day of gentle exploration with one day in a park or quiet café.

3. Medication & Health Documents

Always carry medication in your carry-on with original prescriptions, doctor documentation, and emergency contacts.
