My Sleep Travel

Many people with a variety of chronic pain conditions often travel with a mattress topper to prevent a flare-up of their health conditions. Many others avoid traveling for fear of finding out that the mattress at the hotel they booked is too firm or uncomfortable to meet their health needs. Those who can afford high-end hotels do so in an effort to decrease the likelihood that their health conditions will flare-up while sleeping away from home. Most, if not all, do not share their painful realities with the world for fear of being stigmatized further. I am one of the few people that has shared what it is like to travel with chronic pain and my needs have often been met with skepticism and, at times, even with bad humor.

​

Around the world we are witnessing the rise of a chronic pain epidemic, especially among women. While it is time that we focus on the primary prevention of chronic pain, we also  must make life easier for current chronic pain sufferers and others who struggle with sleep disorders and related health conditions. At My Sleep Travel we believe that everyone deserves to travel comfortably regardless of their socioeconomic status or health conditions.
