Choose it when it replaces a low-value transit day and you can keep the following morning light. Avoid it before a major tour, hike, or hard-to-replace booking.
Protect sleep basics
Bring earplugs, a light layer, water, and a small hygiene kit. Keep documents and valuables close but accessible.
Plan the arrival shower and bag drop
Know where you can leave luggage, rest, or freshen up after arrival. The saved hours disappear quickly if the first half-day is unusable.
