Arriving at the hotel lobby looking fresh, vigorous, and ready to wander is an unrealistic depiction of how a traveler should be. Real talk? Most travelers greet hotel receptionists with messy hair, pale face, and dark sunglasses to conceal panda eyes. There's only one thing to blame - the early, long haul flight.

Sleeping like a log on the plane's cramped seats is a never an easy task. However, it's possible to steal hours of quality rest by packing a few accessories to help you sleep.

You know the essentials: neck pillow, eye mask, and noise-reducing ear plugs. While all these are awesome, it's fascinating to know that some manufacturers have elevated these basics to provide a better experience. Other companies also have introduced new (yet odd-looking) travel accessories you can hardly imagine.

Need sleep? Check out these weird yet multi-functional sleeping accessories for travel. You may look ridiculous in the eyes of your flight neighbors, but you won't be able to care anymore when you're already sleeping soundly.

1. Ostrich Pillow

Yes, they're legit and, at the time of the writing, are available for purchase. The bizarre yet genius invention took the world by storm a couple of years ago but up to this day, people are still not over with the “nap anywhere” bandwagon.

Similar to standard neck pillows, the ostrich pillows are filled with Polystyrene microbeads. What makes them revolutionary is you can slip them on like a helmet whenever you want to catch some Zs, anywhere and anytime. The two holes (at the top portion) are designed for armrest so you can snooze comfortably with your head atop the seatback tray table.

So you have a head pillow/ neck pillow/ armrest/ eye mask all in one. Admit it - no matter how silly they look, you still wanna have 'em.

2. Ostrich Pillow (Light)

If you can't commit to looking like a flightless bird (or a blind alien), then the Ostrich Pillow “Light" might suit your taste. The same manufacturers have toned down their previous design and came up with this less conspicuous travel pillow. Similar to its bigger brother, the lighter version also doubles as a comfortable eye mask.

3. Cocoon Travel Sheet

Hit the sack – literally.

As its name implies, you'll look like a cocoon when you wrap them around your body. Unlike standard blankets, they're like sleeping sacks and they function as your blanket, mattress, and pillow in one. The travel sheet can also be used for camping or when you can't afford an extra mattress in hotel rooms. They're also luggage-friendly since they can be easily folded into a portable ball when not in use.

4. B-tourist Partitioning Band

Don't mind people regarding you as an antisocial freak? This ridiculous gear allows you to create your own, private area.

The B-tourist partitioning band helps minimize distractions or interactions with other people and lets you concentrate on your reading, watch a film, and of course, sleep soundly. It comes with two plastic rings which can be used to adjust the width of the band on both sides to create either a full or partial partition. It also allows your head to rest while sleeping when you connect the center points of the bottom edges of the band.

5. Footrest sling

When the legroom is limited, we tend to have that “where the heck do I place my feet” situation. This is where a footrest sling comes in handy. You just have to secure it around the seatback tray table so you can elevate your feet comfortably.

6. Bucky eye mask

At first glance, it kinda looks like you're wearing a mini bra to mask your eyes. Perhaps it's because of the molded foam contoured for pressure-free eye comfort, Unlike traditional flimsy and snug-fit eye masks, these masks give your eye area enough room to blink freely while blocking the light. It's also a must-have for makeup junkies who want to sleep but don't want to smudge their eye makeup.

7. Suvet (Suit + Duvet)

That feeling when you love your bed so much you want to wear it so you can bring it anywhere? Well, you can live the dream now.

Clever manufacturers have introduced suvets – a duvet and a suit in one. The soft, extra-padded pajamas might make you look like you just came back from space (and that's okay). Now every place can be a resting place. They are also 3 to 4 times warmer than a onesie or blanket, keeping you warm and cozy in chilly areas.
