Sleep is always important, but especially when traveling and spending long days away from home. And we’ve all heard that getting a good night’s sleep leads to improved memory and creativity, sharpened attention and overall better health. But seven to eight hours isn’t easy to get, let alone when on the road and not in your own bed. Luckily, some properties are taking note and offering sleep programs and aides.
The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess has sleep programming at Well & Being, a spa retreat that combines spa and wellness and offers massage treatments, personal training and consultations on stress reduction and nutrition. One program is Adult Naps, where guests pick a 30- or 60-minute sessions in a zero-gravity So Sound Lounger with sounds, vibrations, scents and tea to promote sleep. Another program is the Blissful Sleep Package, which includes a sleep mask, SprayOLogy homeopathic travel kit, bath and body products to relieve stress, a National Geographic book, Life is Your Best Medicine. written by Well & Being Chief Medical Officer Tieraona Low Dog, M.D.
