Sleep Tourism Has Spread Across The Globe Post The COVID-19 Pandemic
Living a life of hustle and doom-scrolling, sprinkled with stress can often leave most of us sleep-deprived. Getting a restful sleep at night can be very hard, often leaving many waking up feeling tired and exhausted first thing in the morning. With our things-to-do list mounding a peaceful snooze, nap or even sleep seems out of reach. That’s when sleep tourism comes into place.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought concerns about mental and physical health to the forefront. So, sleep tourism is all about planning an entire vacation where sleep is the main focus. There are many packages offered by hotels and resorts to ensure you have a restful sleep to improve your sleeping pattern and you are relaxed. Spas and wellness centres have different massages, curated diets and meditation workshops to help you sleep peacefully at night.
