From the nutritious breakfasts that energise your mornings to the gym designed to keep you fit, we’re committed to your health and comfort. We know that restful sleep is a cornerstone of wellness, and travel can sometimes disrupt your natural rhythm. That’s why we’ve curated this guide to help you enjoy the best possible sleep during your stay with us.  

 

High-Quality Linen

We believe that a great night’s sleep starts with comfort. That’s why our beds are dressed with
premium, high-thread-count linens, offering a soft, luxurious feel that helps you unwind and drift off peacefully. 

 

Room Temperature

Creating the perfect sleep environment is easy with our in-room air conditioning system. Experts recommend keeping your room between 60–67°F (15–19°C) for optimal rest. Adjust the temperature to your preference to enjoy a cool, comfortable sleep.

To enhance your relaxation, we offer each guest a thoughtfully designed sleep kit. These kits include: 

  • A soothing sleep spray infused with calming essential oils to help you unwind. 
  • An eye mask to block out light and promote deeper rest.
  • Earbuds to minimise noise and create a serene environment.

Nutrition and Mealtimes

What you eat can impact how well you sleep. Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, or alcohol close to bedtime. Instead, choose sleep-friendly snacks like a banana or a small bowl of porridge to help you relax and prepare for rest. 

 

Managing Blue Light

Blue light from electronic screens can interfere with your sleep. Reduce screen time at least an hour before bed, or use blue light filters or glasses if you need to use devices in the evening. 

 

Comfortable Sleepwear

Wearing soft, breathable clothing can make all the difference in how well you sleep. Choose loose-fitting garments made from natural fabrics like cotton to keep cool and comfortable throughout the night. 

 

Listen to Music

To aid sleep, create a sleep-inducing playlist, choosing tracks with a slow tempo, ideally between 60 and 80 beats per minute, as this can help slow your heart rate and encourage relaxation. Opt for calming genres like classical, ambient, or soft instrumental music, and avoid songs with sudden changes in volume or tempo. Consistency is key, so use the same playlist each night to establish a routine that your brain associates with sleep, making it easier to drift off.

 

Exercise Regularly 

Regular exercise can significantly improve sleep quality by helping you fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep. Engaging in moderate aerobic activities, such as brisk walking, jogging, or cycling, increases the amount of slow-wave sleep, which is the deep, restorative stage of sleep. Exercise also helps to stabilise your mood and decompress your mind, making it easier to transition to sleep. However, it's important to time your workouts appropriately; exercising too close to bedtime might keep you awake due to the endorphins and elevated body temperature that exercise induces.

 

Sun Exposure

Getting sunlight, especially in the morning, is crucial for maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm. Exposure to natural light helps reset your body's internal clock, signalling when it's time to wake up and when it's time to sleep. Morning sunlight boosts the production of serotonin, a hormone that enhances mood and helps you feel alert during the day. It also regulates melatonin production, which is essential for sleep. By aligning your sleep-wake cycle with natural light patterns, you can improve your overall sleep quality and feel more refreshed upon waking.

Meditation Tips

Meditation is a simple yet effective way to prepare your mind and body for sleep. Here’s how to get started: 

 

  • Find a quiet space: Choose a calm, relaxing spot in your room. 
  • Focus on your breathing: Take slow, deep breaths and concentrate on the rhythm of your inhale and exhale. 
  • Use a guided meditation: Apps and videos can be great tools for beginners. 
  • Practice regularly: Create a nightly meditation habit for long-term benefits.
