Going on a vacation might seem like a rather unconventional way to try to improve your sleep habits. But sleep tourism has been growing in popularity for a number of years, with an increasing amount of sleep-focused stays popping up in hotels and resorts across the world. Interest has skyrocketed since the pandemic, with a number of high profile hotels focusing their attention on those suffering from sleep-deprivation(缺乏).

Over the past 12 months, Park Hyatt New York has opened the Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite, a 900-square-foot suite filled with sleep-enhancing amenities(便利设施), while Rosewood Hotels & Resorts recently launched a collection of retreats called the Alchemy of Sleep, which are designed to “promote rest”. Zedwell, London’s first sleep-centric hotel, which features rooms equipped with innovative soundproofing, opened in early 2020, and Swedish bed manufacturer Hastens established the world’s first Hästens Sleep Spa Hotel, a 15-room boutique hotel, in the Portuguese city of Coimbra a year later. 

Dr. Rebecca Robbins, a sleep researcher, believes travel industry’s focus on sleep has been a long time coming, particularly with regards to hotels. “When it comes down to it, travelers book hotels for a place to sleep,” she said, and pointed out that the hotel industry has primarily been focused on things that actually detract(减损) from sleep in the past. “People often associate travel with big meals, extending their bed times, the attractions and the things they do while they’re traveling, really almost at the cost of sleep,” she adds. “Now, I think there’s just been a huge shift in our collective awareness and prioritization on wellness and well being.” 

The global pandemic appears to have played a huge part in this. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that 40% of the over 2,500 adults who took part reported a reduction in their sleep quality since the start of the pandemic. “There has been heightened attention to sleep in the Covid-19 era, and likely, because so many people have struggled with this [sleep],” says Dr. Robbins.
