Sleep Tourism: the best destinations to get a good rest

The frenetic rhythms that accompany our days, added to the increasingly frequent use of electronic devices of all kinds, are responsible for a great loss of sleep at night.

Since we sleep less and less, and worse and worse, journalist Roger Sands dedicated an article in Forbes to the new trend of 'Sleep Tourism.' It's a way to use your vacation to recuperate your precious lost sleep.

A sleeping holiday is one in which you can sleep better and, above all, more. It's different from the kinds of "holidays" we tend to take, in which we visit all nearby places and run around taking pictures. No, sleep tourism is something else entirely. It's all about relaxation.

So, for those who have had enough adventure travel and have the main objective of improving the quality of their sleep, 'Sleep Tourism' could be the ideal solution.

According to Forbes, the National Sleep Foundation of the United States states that sleep tourism is possible. You just need to keep in mind some significant details during your holiday.

For example, even if you switch to a country with a different schedule, think of light as the most powerful signal to your biological clock. That way you maximize the quality of your sleep while traveling.

Obviously, tourist facilities are also trying to adapt as much as possible to these new needs and offer maximum relaxation to their customers. Let's see together which are the best 'Sleep Tourism' destinations in the world, according to Forbes.

The first 'Sleep Tourism' destination identified by Forbes is the Hotel Preidlhof, the wellness resort in Northern Italy which has created a special program, 'Sleep Better', to allow guests to find the right rhythm of sleep.

Among the various activities included in the program are sleep rituals of the Dolomites, acupuncture, sleep massages, and the application of a small device that will accompany the guest from arrival to departure to monitor improvements in sleep quality.

Furthermore, customers will also be able to sleep under the starry sky thanks to the comfortable beds installed on the balconies of their rooms.

A mix between 'Sleep Tourism' and Glamping is offered by Selina Agafay, near Marrakesh in Morocco. Travelers will have the opportunity to sleep under the desert stars in this incredible oasis of peace.
