Sleeping pills, and focus on protein and healthy food choices.

When I have to travel for work I try to stick as closely as I can to my routine. I try to get up at the same time and go to bed at the same time and depending on how long I am out of town I will go to the store and get some of the basics like protein powder and lunch meat so I can still eat healthy while I am on the road.
