New York—home to some of the world’s most luxurious hotels. <br /><br />And if sleep is your main priority after you check in, Benjamen’s has a sleep concierge to make sure everything is “dreamy” for the guests. <br /><br />[Anya Orlanska, Hotel’s Sleep Concierge]: <br />“Three days before they arrive we send our guests an email, asking about their pillow preferences.” <br /><br />Guests can choose from 12 pillows, including an anti-snore; satin, said to reduce wrinkles; and the Swedish memory designed by NASA. <br /><br />Anya says their I-pod pillow is popular with teenagers. <br /><br />[Anya Orlanska, Hotel’s Sleep Concierge]: <br />“It has speakers built inside the pillow. So you can sleep on your pillow not touching anything, just still nice soft pillow, and you here your music from far behind.” <br /><br />This week is National Sleep Awareness Week. On top of the usual pillow menu the Benjamin has a nightly pajama party, champagne, and tasty delights that can help you sleep better. <br /><br />But all-year-round guests can order special sleep-promoting food, like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on banana bread. Anya says this combination can help your brain produce serotonin. <br /><br />[Anya Orlanska, Hotel’s Sleep Concierge]: <br />“Serotonin slows down the nerves in your brain. That helps you sleep a little better.” <br /><br />Sleep researchers have associated good sleep patterns with increased productivity and job satisfaction. <br /><br />NTD News, New York.
