This issue affects everyone\u2014men, women, young, and old. But it&#8217;s especially difficult for women under 50. They&#8217;ve experienced the most significant declines in sleep, with just over a quarter saying they\u2019re getting enough rest. It&#8217;s a widespread problem, impacting countless lives and leaving many of us struggling to find a way to reclaim our sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are We Sleepless?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/combating-stress-and-sleeplessness-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"combatting stress and sleeplessness: woman looking fed up with hands up\" class=\"wp-image-15743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/combating-stress-and-sleeplessness-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/combating-stress-and-sleeplessness-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/combating-stress-and-sleeplessness-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/combating-stress-and-sleeplessness.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stress is a major factor. Take Katie Krimitsos, for example. She\u2019s a mom who talks about the endless details she has to manage daily. When she goes to bed, she\u2019s still thinking about everything she needs to do. Modern life is fast-paced, and we\u2019re all trying to keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katie mentions that the speed of life and our expectations have skyrocketed. This stress inspired her to start a podcast called &#8220;Sleep Meditation for Women,&#8221; which has been incredibly successful because many women are looking for ways to improve their sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Impact of Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/technology-cause-sleeplessness-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"technology causes sleeplessness: lady sitting up in bed scrolling on her cell phone\" class=\"wp-image-15738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/technology-cause-sleeplessness-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/technology-cause-sleeplessness-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/technology-cause-sleeplessness-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/technology-cause-sleeplessness.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology, especially smartphones, plays a huge role in our sleeplessness. Gina Marie Mathew, a sleep researcher, points out that the use of smartphones is linked to poor sleep. Most teenagers and almost all adults have smartphones, which keep our minds busy even when we should be winding down. She notes that we don&#8217;t value sleep enough and lack social supports that allow us to rest and relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can HotelsByDay Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/take-a-workation-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"take a workation: lady at office sitting at her desk with head in her hands\" class=\"wp-image-15739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/take-a-workation-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/take-a-workation-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/take-a-workation-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/take-a-workation.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how HotelsByDay can help.

Pre or Post-Cruise Stay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coming back from a cruise can be both exciting and exhausting.

This small but precious break can make all the difference in restoring your energy and peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
