Spas Will Be Talking To You About Sleep Health In 2007!

According to some experts in the business spas will be talking a lot about sleep health in 2007. To quote Dr. William Dement, the founder and director of the Stanford University Research Center from his book, The Promise of Sleep "Healthy sleep has been empirically proven to be the single most important determinant in predicting longevity, more influential than diet, exercise or heredity."

Traditionally Spas and even fitness centers have focused on diet, exercise, and stress reduction, but rarely emphasized sound sleep, but that is changing. With increasing evidence that healthy sleep can help people lose weight, look younger, and even result in a better sex life spas are responding with sleep management programs and have even added some power nap offerings to their menus. These offerings range from including relaxation lounges for a post treatment nap to offering clients the option of a 15 or 20 minute nap on the massage table after a massage. Some spas are even offering clients a service that allows them to nap (escape) in a darkened treatment room for 20-40 minutes while listening to soft relaxing music, and offer them the option to even add aromatherapy to the service.

Would you be interested in booking a sleep therapy service at your favorite spa, or adding this option to your next massage or facial?
