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

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
