Imagine settling down for the night and then realising your water bottle is in the bag tucked under the berth. Or waking up thirsty and having to search for your phone in the dark. These are not major problems, but they can get annoying.
Before you settle in, keep your water bottle, phone, charger and other essentials within easy reach. If you take medication during the journey, make sure it is accessible as well.
Travelling overnight? Set an alarm for your destination if you are worried about sleeping through your stop. It is also worth checking your arrival time before you doze off, particularly if you have to get ready quickly after waking up.
