A sleep retreat is a holiday where you just shut off from your routines and catch up on a lot of sleep. Sleep debt can affect overall health and productivity. If you are dozing off at the dinner table, you may need a sleep retreat. Why not sleep at home? Being away means you’re away from your regular distractions and all you are left to do is relax and sleep!
Choosing a Sleep Retreat
Very few hotels take a proper night’s sleep into consideration. Flat screen TVs and minibars filled with snacks act as distractions to your sleep.
A study at Brown University found that most people sleep worse when they’re on vacation, than at home.
Due to this, hotels and spas have started involving sleep specialists and doctors in their planning and offer sleep packages. Some of the treatments even encourage sleep and complete relaxation. The ultimate goal of a sleep retreat, is to get the best sleep of your life.
