Survey: Public Opinion on the Rise of Sleep Tourism

Taking a vacation just to sleep might seem confusing, but it’s a trend that has been catching considerable attention lately. Since COVID-19, hotels, and spas have refocused their goals to serve those suffering from sleep deprivation and similar issues.

The travel industry’s shift to focus on sleep came from the fact that a lot of people started investing in “staycations” during the pandemic. Working from home and adhering to a tight schedule in one place is bound to exhaust anyone.

This causes anxiety, depression, and restlessness in people. Also, when people travel, they tend to compromise on their sleep and spend less time in the hotel room and more time outside, doing activities and sightseeing. Thus, they extend and delay their bedtimes.

This is why hotels have worked to enhance the hotel room experience so that people can improve the length and quality of their sleep on their vacation.

One of the hotels that offer sleep-enhancing amenities is Park Hyatt New York’s Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite. In addition, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts introduced the Alchemy of Sleep, which promotes restful sleep. Then, there is the Zedwell, London’s first sleep-centric hotel that features rooms with soundproofing. Moreover, the Swedish bed manufacturer Hastens opened the world’s first Hästens Sleep Spa Hotel, a small boutique hotel.

According to sleep researcher Dr. Rebecca Robbins, who co-authored the book “Sleep for Success! “, this change in hotel culture has been long overdue.

“When it comes down to it, travelers book hotels for a place to sleep,” the expert claims, before pointing out that the hotel industry has historically focused on things that actually disrupt sleep. In her opinion, now there is a greater focus on wellness and well-being.

For this reason, the survey aims to know if short-term sleep-focused travel experiences have a long-term impact on a person’s overall sleep.
