Others noted how annoying it is to be awakened by light: All those times Ive awakened to that unbelievably annoying “crack of light” that pierces my brain and makes me want to throw things…

Ricks video prompted other Twitter users to share their own travelling tips and advice.
One person replied: My hotel hack is if you ever need an extra phone charger, ask the front desk if they found one. They have a box full.

Another said: My hotel hack is that you can literally put any card in the slot that turns on the electricity, so you can leave the room with your device charging inside.
