You might think that catching eight hours in the sleeper cab is enough to keep you sharp on the road, but it’s not just about the hours you log. Sleep quality plays a crucial role in how rested you feel. Factors like noise, light, and even your mattress can affect how restorative that sleep really is.
Operator note: Try using blackout curtains or a sleep mask to block out light, and consider earplugs or a white noise app to help drown out road noise. These simple changes can significantly improve the quality of your sleep.
