#90 - Sleep and Hospitality: Gotta Hurry On Back To My Hotel Room

Sleep Unplugged with Dr. Chris Winter

One of the most interesting trends in sleep is the growing number of hotels and hospitality centers that are embracing sleep as a primary focus for their patrons. Equinox Hotel in New York City has fully embraced the topic in almost everything they offer their guests from spa experiences to a room that goes "Dark, Quiet, and Cool" with the touch of a button. In this episode, we will:

• Highlight some efforts by hotels in the past to fold sleep into their services
• Contrast the Equinox Hotel's massive exploration of ways to improve sleep with British Cycling's "Marginal Gains" philosophy
• Touch on hospitality research that supports their patrons wanting an enhanced physical environment, and better interactions/outcomes, and how focusing on sleep can achieve this goal
• Examine the physical space of the hotel room and understand how its appointments affect sleep
• Go beyond the hotel room to look at food menus, fitness club offerings, and spa treatments as means to improve sleep
• Think about the potential hotel/sleep industry partnerships with the hotel the ideal proving grounds for emerging sleep products and technology
