If you’re the type who, when you go on vacation and stay in a hotel, sleeps especially well, welcome. Today we want to tell you about some of the techniques hotels use to improve their guests’ sleep quality and that you can apply yourself at home.
Those XL beds, with those white sheets and those so inviting mattresses, are not the only reason you rest as well as you deserve during vacations. Having days off and feeling more relaxed and clear-headed helps, but the truth is hotels also have tricks that favor better rest and help to avoid the usual jet lag suffered by travelers who have crossed time zones.
We’re talking about rituals, techniques or activities focused on sleep that can serve as inspiration for you to sleep better daily, especially if you’re looking for routines to improve your rest. This is the case with the sleep experience offered by the Urso Hotel in Madrid.
This hotel is especially committed to offering its guests not only a better sleep onset but also the possibility of waking up more energized. They understand the importance of a good night’s rest, since sleeping properly is one of the fundamental factors for our physical and mental health.
Infusion instead of coffee
With the aim of promoting good rest, they have crafted a unique and comprehensive experience that begins with a breakfast in which coffee is omitted, but Wake Up infusions are included, a very good alternative to start the day without caffeine, but with energy.

Then, in addition to a hydrotherapy circuit in their spa, they propose trying a neurosedative massage to help induce sleep. It is a treatment that uses essential oils that promote better rest.
Yoga that helps you sleep

They also recommend including in the daily routine a session of yoga nidra. It is a guided meditation and deep relaxation technique practiced lying down, keeping the mind conscious as the body reaches a rest state similar to deep sleep.

On the other hand, they propose using a relaxing oil that you can apply to certain areas of the body before going to sleep. There are many ways to do this, but one is with the Find Comfort Stop & Soothe Pen from Rare Beauty, a lightweight, fast-absorbing aromatherapy gel. It is formulated with a natural blend of essential oils of peppermint, lavender and tonka bean, known for helping to relieve stress and tension
Calm Moment from Tea Shop (€9.85).
Finally, in URSO’s ritual there cannot be the infusions that help you fall asleep. Drinking them before bed noticeably improves your ability to sleep. We like Tea Shop’s Calm Moment infusion, with linden and lemon balm, with a sweet aroma and flavor, which will help you unwind and fall asleep.
