Actually, the days of busy tours or hurried must-do vacations have given way to vacations where resting and recharging is the key. And for many, that means getting a good night's sleep. A recent survey of 1, 095 Americans, conducted by a team at Harvard's Division of Sleep Medicine, found that over 94 percent of the participants want to participate in slow travel in the future and choose quiet and rest instead of adventure. “Gone are the days of travelling and coming home exhausted,” said Rebecca Robbins, the lead sleep scientist in the team. “The idea that travel could restore you—to learn things and experience new things and also physically and mentally get the rest you need to power your trip and to allow you to return home rested—is really exciting.” A good night's sleep is something that eludes many people, according to the survey. More than one in three Americans lack enough sleep, not getting the minimum of seven hours of sleep that is recommended by the Center for Disease Control. Poor sleep can cause a host of physical and mental health issues. It's no wonder that people want to destress and catch some ZZs while on vacation. Hotel guests are increasingly valuing sleeping when they're travelling and getting a good night's rest on the road. While many hotels have provided sleep-aid items like masks, light blocking shades and comfortable pillows, sleep tourism is taking it many steps further. Several hotels in the Hilton chain now offer “power down” services including temperature-adjusting mattresses (床垫) and soft light settings. Travellers engaging in sleep tourism are taking that extra step and seeking out unique experiences and environments that help them achieve their sleep and relaxation goals. Maybe a sleep vacation is just what doctors have ordered, especially if travellers use the sleep techniques they have learned when they return home. 1.
