Stress: Concerns about work, school, health, finances or family can keep your mind active at night, making it difficult to sleep.

Travel: Your circadian rhythms act as an internal clock for all parts of you. Disrupting these rhythms can lead to insomnia. Common disruptions include jet lag from traveling across multiple time zones, working a late or early shift or frequently changing shifts.

Poor sleep habits: These can range from stimulating activities before bed, a new environment and blue light from screens (phones, tv, tablet, etc) before bed.

Eating too much late in the evening: Eating too much may cause you to feel physically uncomfortable while lying down as well as experience heartburn or indigestion which can keep you awake.

The right amount of sleep varies from person to person, but most adults need seven to eight hours a night. When you don’t catch your zzz’s, you might experience:

• Difficulty falling asleep at night
• Waking up during the night
• Waking up too early
• Not feeling well-rested after a night's sleep
• Daytime tiredness or sleepiness
• Irritability, depression or anxiety
• Difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks or remembering
• Increased errors or accidents
• Ongoing worries about sleep

Minimize pre-travel stress (not always helpful advice, we know); pack travel accessories like pillow, sleep mask, earplugs, etc.

Runway Health is focused on providing exceptional travel health care, and we work exclusively with a team of US-based, board-certified physicians from top-tier universities dedicated to ensuring that travelers have a safe and healthy journey.

Alongside a team of board-certified physicians, Runway has crafted an online questionnaire based consultation that replicates those questions you may typically be asked at a brick-and-mortar travel clinic.  You may initiate this online consultation 24/7 without the need to schedule a live visit.  Upon reviewing your consultation, your physician may reach out to you via our secure, HIPAA compliant chat portal if they require any additional information. Similarly, should you have any additional questions for your physician, you may contact them for chat based care before, during or after your travels.

After your online consultation, your physician will complete their initial review within 24 hours; however, in many cases this is completed in just a couple of hours.

If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please email support@runwayhealth.com and we’ll take care of it.

Once your order is shipped, you will receive an email with details to track your shipment.

Orders are shipped every day except for Sunday and are typically processed within 1 business day after your order has been approved by your physician.
