From Perfect Sleep Kits to Hushpitality: The Sleep Economy Booms

From Perfect Sleep Kits to Hushpitality: The Sleep Economy Booms
How to assemble a perfect sleep kit · financialexpress.com

Sleep is very important, so many companies now make products to help people rest better.

Some smart beds can change temperature and track how well you sleep using apps.

There are also lavender sprays, eye masks, herbal teas, and gummies with melatonin for bedtime.

One Indian company, Wakefit, even pays people to sleep for nine hours every night.

Hotels are joining in too - Hilton says 'hushpitality' is a new trend where travellers just want to rest.

Wellness resorts in Dehradun, Kerala and Gurugram offer special sleep programmes for guests.

A hotel in Singapore is building rooms that match people's natural body clocks.

Indian Railways is testing sleeping pods at a railway station so travellers can nap during trips.

But doctors say pills and products should not replace good habits like a regular bedtime, less screen time, and less stress.

A comfy bed, a calm room and a good routine are still the best recipe for great sleep.
