Travel and changes in your daily routine can easily disturb your sleep cycle. To support better rest, stay away from screens for at least an hour before going to bed. Create a dark, calm environment in your room to encourage sleep. Additionally, a gentle foot massage using lukewarm oil can help relax your body and make it easier to fall asleep.

If you are sleep deprived slowly your day time functions also suffer. You feel restless, have headaches, tiredness, confusion etc. since it has been happening for only 2 nights. You can manage it easily. But racing mind is something that needs to be dealt with. Nevertheless for now sos medication can be taken but if it still doesn't get relieved you will need proper assessment. I provide online consultation and therapy support if you would like contact me directly on nine eight two six five four five six six zero.

Sleep is often disturbed during traveling due to multiple causes. Close mobile, laptop, T.V., 1 hour before sleeping. Try taking dinner early, avoid heavy meals in dinner.Try to do some deep breathing, read some good book or meditate or pray, I.e. any activity that soothes the mind, before sleeping.
Consult online for further guidance.

Travel and schedule change commonly trigger transient insomnia, often via stress, unfamiliar environment, and circadian disruption (jet lag, schedule shift). Acute âadjustment insomniaâ to new stressors or environments typically lasts daysâweeks and resolves as you adapt.
Next Steps
keep a consistent bedtime and wake time, even while traveling; avoid long daytime naps despite fatigue, as they worsen nightâtime insomnia.

Change of place and stress of travelling over activates the brain and it may cause difficulty in sleeping .
Try to relax your mind , eat dinner early and try to sleep early .
Medication for mind relaxation and sleep like zolpidem 5 mgm or clonazepam o. 25 mgm may be taken . But taking medicines for sleep should be avoided as much as possible.

Hi. You have all answer in your question itself.
Since you are travelling, unable to sleep that’s why feeling tired if no other symptoms.
It is not advisable to take medicine to sleep unless there’s a dire need. It’s better to relax and hydrate yourself and try to sleep will be my best and honest advise
