Hyatt Hotels has joined forces with mental health platform Headspace to help travellers achieve the restful sleep they need to make the most of their journeys. Starting November 14, the duo introduces Headspace’s Science Behind Sleep, an exclusive video series aimed at providing guests with expert tips and practical advice for better sleep, available at nearly 400 Hyatt hotels and within the Headspace app.
The Science of Better Sleep
Sleep can make or break a trip. Recognising that three in four travellers rate sleep quality as their top priority, Hyatt surveyed its guests and crafted this thoughtful series to address common sleep disruptions while travelling. Filmed at the picturesque Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, California, the five-episode series brings science-based solutions to life, featuring Headspace’s Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, Dora Kamau, and sleep expert Dr. Aric Prather.
The series dives into practical strategies, including:
- Befriending Jet Lag – Tactics to ease circadian rhythm disruptions.
- Creating a Travel Bedtime Routine – Tips to make unfamiliar spaces feel like home.
- Eat and Drink Smarter – Advice on diet choices to preserve sleep cycles.
- Dealing with Nighttime Wake-Ups – Tools to handle sleep interruptions effectively.
- The Power of Morning Sunlight – Ways to align your internal clock naturally.
“Travel often stirs excitement and anxiety, emotions that can disrupt sleep,” said TJ Abrams, Hyatt’s VP of Global Wellbeing. “This series extends our care philosophy, ensuring our guests can rejuvenate during their stays.”
A Collaboration Rooted in Wellbeing
Since 2019, Hyatt and Headspace have partnered to provide guests, members, and colleagues access to mindfulness exercises and sleep-focused content. In 2023, the collaboration expanded to include Headspace’s premium coloured noise collection, available via Hyatt’s app and in-room TVs across North America.
Emma Nemtin, Head of Consumer Partnerships at Headspace, expressed her enthusiasm: “Through Headspace’s expertise and Hyatt’s hospitality, we’re helping travellers discover the secrets to their best sleep yet. These tools have the potential to transform not just how people sleep but their overall mental health and wellbeing.”
Guests can view the first episode of the series on Hyatt’s YouTube channel, with the full series available in guest rooms and on the Headspace app. With these efforts, Hyatt and Headspace are redefining how hotels care for their guests, ensuring restful sleep and rejuvenated minds for everyone on the road.
