Hyatt’s award-winning loyalty program, World of Hyatt, in collaboration with Headspace, the world’s most accessible and comprehensive mental health platform, has debuted a new exclusive video series. Headspace’s Science Behind Sleep series, presented by World of Hyatt, extends care for guests and members by providing access to expert and science-backed tips on how to get better sleep while traveling. The new sleep series is available in guestrooms at nearly 400 Hyatt hotels and within the Headspace app.
Three-in-four consumers say that sleep quality is the most important factor when travelling and are more likely to take advantage of amenities designed to improve their sleep, based on a recent survey Hyatt conducted. Filmed at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif., the series explores sleep’s vital role in maintaining our overall wellbeing both pre, during and post-trip through a science-based approach. Created in collaboration with World of Hyatt, led by Headspace’s Dora Kamau, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, and advised by renowned Sleep Expert and Psychologist, Dr. Aric Prather, each episode is infused with scientific research and tips for managing common sleep struggles.
Travelling can often stir a whirlwind of emotions – from the anticipatory thrill to the underlying stress of planning. These emotions can significantly impact travellers’ sleep once they reach their destination. The series explores practical scientific-backed steps travellers can take before and during their trips to seamlessly transition into a restful state, ensuring they can fully savour their trip or stay focused on their work projects without the interference of sleep troubles.
The series will take guests through five episodes:
- Befriending Jet Lag – includes tips to handle circadian misalignment to lessen the impact of jet lag
- Creating a Travel Bedtime Routine – provides suggestions to make new environments feel more like home to help with the transition process while traveling
- Eat and Drink Smarter – mindful choices to make when traveling to protect your sleep and not interrupt your sleep cycle
- Dealing with Night Time Wake-Ups – covers tools to help you get back to sleep for every scenario
- The Power of Morning Sunlight – explores ways to naturally support your internal body clock using the sun and boosting your overall wellbeing
“Traveling, whether for business or pleasure, brings with it a range of emotions, including excitement, anxiety and stress, all which can affect our sleep quality,” says TJ Abrams, Vice President of Global Wellbeing, Hyatt. “To ensure guests and members are feeling their best, no matter where they lay their heads, the video series is designed to help our guests, members, customers and colleagues on their wellbeing journeys.”
Travellers can check out the first episode of the new series on Hyatt’s YouTube Channel today and guests and members have access to the entire series on guestroom TVs across nearly 400 participating Hyatt hotels.
“Through the synergy of Headspace's expertise in sleep hygiene and scientific insights, combined with Hyatt's commitment to world-class hospitality and guest wellbeing, together, we're uniquely positioned to help guests unlock the secrets to their best sleep yet,” said Emma Nemtin, Head of Consumer Partnerships and Distribution at Headspace. “We hope that Hyatt guests learn useful tips with each video and are able to apply them to their daily lives and sleep routines to better their mental health and wellbeing.”
