If you've ever have the pleasure of a very long stop over or a canceled flight, then you might have to spend the night in an airport. Airports aren't really designed to cater for passengers staying overnight or for over a period of 16 hours, so you can prepare yourself to make life as comfortable as possible and actually manage to get some valuable sleep.
ThermaRest/Foam Mat
A lot depends on which airport you're in, but the chances of getting 4 seats in a row to sleep on can sometimes be impossible, especially as most airports have seats that are designed individually with an arm rest. Therefore to get some sleep you need to either be very comfortable sitting down or take upon the more realistic option of lying down on the floor. A therma rest is a very comfortable inflatable roll mat that is orally inflated, they can easily fit inside your hand luggage and offers a serious amount of comfort compared to the cold, hard floor.
Silk Liner and Warm Top.
Even if it's warm outside, airports like to regulate a low temperature throughout the day and the air con can be bitingly cold after a few hours in just a t-shirt. A silk liner is about $20, very warm and compacts down to about the size of your fist. A warm top can be used as the obvious or a pillow if it's not too cold.
Ear Plugs
Airports have a tendency to make an announcement over the speakers every 40 seconds. This can get incredibly tedious and without ear plugs you'll end up tossing and turning unable to block out the sound of another flight arrival announcement. Make sure you have the means to wake yourself up however!
Eye Sleeping Mask
Airports don't dim the lights at night, they remain bright 24 hours a day. An eye sleeping mask prevents you from trying to block the light hitting your closed eyes in all sorts of peculiar positions. The old ''face into arm'' that covers the eyes from light gets a little uncomfortable after a while.
Belongings
Most importantly, keep all your belongings on you. If you do have a silk liner, then keep your hand luggage inside the liner. If you don't then make sure the bag is under your arm or use it as a pillow if it's not too uncomfortable.
Preparing for a long stay in an airport can making a long, tiring, uncomfortable journey an easy one.
