Default “Jungle red-eye” hotels...

Are they quiet? Someplace you can get a decent morning and afternoon sleep? Any personal techniques experienced people might suggest?

You're a “ex” freight dog asking for advice on daytime sleeping?

Just did a red eye last week and they put me in that dumpy Hyatt by the cruiseport. That hotel sucks.

Nope. Asking about the hotels in foreign countries mainly. My cargo nights were mostly domestic and out and backs. I know how to sleep in MY bed, day or night.

We don’t stay at hotels for “jungle red eyes”.

Those are turns.

The hotels from GYE and LIM are good enough, no better or worse than your typical Hilton or Marriott.

Seconded. Make sure you get your room on the opposite side from the road. Don't know why, it's not even a busy road, but it was so loud even at night.

As for sleep tips. I've gotten used to sleeping with earplugs and use them 100% of the time I'm at work. White noise generator app on the phone if you need serious noise cx. Just make sure your alarm clock is loud and jarring. I also use the vibrating alarm on my smart watch.

Using the hangars with the clips helps to keep the curtains closed tightly. Fold the ends over once and then clip them and it should get pretty dark.
