'SLEEP TOURISM' AMENITIES Many hotels are offering “sleep suites.” Some examples of what you might find there: SMART BEDS. The mattress senses your movements and adjusts body


support with up to 90 internal cushions that can individually change firmness within seconds. AUDIO TECH. Speakers play soothing sounds and the bed syncs with gentle motion, to ease you into


sleep and wake you gently. AROMATHERAPY. This includes essential oil diffusers, which promote restfulness. CHOICE OF PILLOWS. Pillow menus include buckwheat filled, memory molding and


snoring-reducing types, as well as pillows that contain ultra-thin speakers. COOLING SHEETS. These special linens stay cooler and drier than others. WEIGHTED BLANKETS. Using firm,


controlled pressure, they create a feeling of calm. WHITE NOISE MACHINES. A soothing mix of frequencies hide unwanted sounds. SLEEP MASKS AND EARPLUGS. These traditional options block light


and noise. MELATONIN BOOSTERS. Gummies, supplements and red-light therapy can help your brain produce this sleep-promoting hormone. SPECIAL LIGHTING. Subtle night illumination and lamps that


gradually dim can help you sleep, and lights that simulate dawn can assist in waking you slowly. HIGH-TECH WINDOWS. Adjusting their tint throughout the day and night, they aid your natural


awake-sleep cycle. CBD-INFUSED BEVERAGES. The cannabis derivative can decrease anxiety and improve sleep. EXPERT HELP. On-demand videos guide you through meditation sessions, or a sleep


therapist can create daily sleep-optimizing itineraries for you. _Features compiled from the Park Hyatt New York, New York City; the Benjamin Royal Sonesta, New York City; the Saratoga Arms,
