Sleep tourism: the vacations of good sleep.

Sleep well to live better.

Sleep is a vital necessity, like drinking and eating, so much so that a third of life is spent precisely sleeping.
A long period of time that is unaware of what is happening around us and allows the body to recover from physical exertions and the brain to record lived experiences.

Getting a good night’s sleep at home is often a challenge: young children to care for, outside noise, stress.
That’s why more and more people are planning vacations to places of silence and disconnection to regain balance between mind and body.
The bedtime vacation already has a first name, sleep tourism, a trend that is growing in popularity, particularly after the pandemic, and which the hospitality industry welcomes.

Good sleep and where to practice it.

Some offer customized pillows, high, low, with feathers or natural seeds, some well soundproofed rooms to avoid hearing the neighbor snore.
Others have an extra edge and have developed innovative sleep coaching programs: from aromatherapy to specific sessions with sleep specialists, beds that massage and anti-gravity chairs.
