Google Trends said last week that more people searched for information about sleep this year than ever before. People are using the internet to find out about bedtime habits, sleep positions, and the answer to the question “Why am I so tired all the time?” which Google says was asked the most in June.
 
In fact, so many people can’t get restful sleep that it’s led to a new kind of travel. Hotels and health resorts are starting “sleep tourism” programmes that go beyond soft bedding and blackout curtains.
 
Here are six places that go above and beyond to help travellers get a good night’s sleep, from beds that use real-time artificial intelligence to hypnotherapists on call.

London’s Zedwell Hotel
 
The website for London’s two Zedwell hotels says that the rooms are simple and free of “distractions” like TVs, phones, and even windows for people who need to get away from everything.
 
The minimalist design uses natural wood and soft lighting, and the rooms are soundproofed and have clean air.
 
Maldives, Six Senses Laamu
 
At Six Senses Laamu, guests who don’t get enough sleep can sign up for a sleep health programme that lasts from three to ten days. On its website, it says that each stay includes tracking of how you sleep, wellness checks, spa treatments, meditation or breathwork routines, and nutritional advice.
 
There are also yoga and Ayurvedic treatments, and guests can use the Timeshifter app to help them get over jet lag.
 
Some Six Senses destinations in Switzerland, Fiji, India, Turkey, and Thailand, among other places, also offer sleep packages.
 
New York, Park Hyatt
 
The Park Hyatt in New York City updated three “Sleep Suites” with the latest version of Bryte’s “Balance” smart beds for people who have trouble sleeping in the Big Apple.
 
The mattress makes sounds and moves gently to help people fall asleep. To wake up, the bed slowly moves back and forth over the course of 15 minutes. This is done quietly and slowly. A matrix of AI cushions inside the mattress responds to the way the body moves to ease pressure in real-time.
 
The hotel says that the suites also come with a diffuser, a collection of “sleep-related books,” and a mix of essential oils that help you relax.
 
London, The Cadogan
 
Malminder Gill, a sleep expert and hypnotherapist, works with The Cadogan to offer a “Sleep Concierge” service that includes a meditation (recorded by Gill), a pillow menu, a weighted blanket, a bedtime tea blend, and a scented pillow mist.
 
The hotel’s website says that guests can book a lesson with Gill for one-on-one sleep help in their rooms if they need more help.
 
Miami’s Carillon Miami Wellness Resort
 
From rooms on Miami Beach that face the ocean, this resort takes a tech-forward approach to sleep health by using vibration and sound therapy to give even the busiest minds an “essential powernap,” according to the hotel’s website.
 
The website says that in addition to Bryte Balance mattresses, the resort offers hypnosis, saltwater bath therapies where guests can soak in water with 800 pounds of Epsom salt and a “Somadome” meditation pod that blends colour and sound.
 
Alicante, Spain, Sha Wellness Clinic
 
With the help of sleep medicine specialist Dr. Vicente Mera, guests at this luxury hotel and wellness clinic can take part in its “Sleep Medicine” programme. This programme includes a sleep consultation, a night-time polygraph, a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) study, and tests that measure sleep and daytime indicators like resting heart rate and heart rate variability, according to its website.
 
Each person is given a wellness plan that includes ways to deal with stress and hydrotherapy.
