That’s why when it comes to outfitting your truck sleeper to be your home away from home, you want to make the most of it to make sure you’re relaxed and refreshed before you're back on the road.

2. Trying White Noise
Light isn’t the only nuisance to keep out of your personal refuge from the road. A white noise machine can be indispensable to drown out the horns and Jake Brakes that seem determined to keep you awake. Outfitting your truck sleeper with a white noise machine can go a long way in helping you to rest easy when you really need it.
