Why You Need A Sleep Retreat

Can’t get up without hitting the snooze button? You’re not alone. With constant connectivity, we’re living life in a state of alert, making it hard to switch off for much-needed sleep. And, according to The Goodnight Co. founder Shea Morrison, it’s having a detrimental effect.

With the increased use of technology from phones and devices to laptops and living in a 24/7 society we are wired and tired. 

Sleep problems and insomnia are common issues for today’s busy generation, stemming from stressful working lives, anxiety and lack of exercise, which can have long term effects on our health and well-being. We have handpicked a range of our luxury wellness holidays which give you the perfect chance to return to your normal sleeping pattern and achieve deep relaxation. With key lifestyle consultations, helpful advice and indulgent spa treatments on offer, the benefits of our sleep retreats for sleep enhancement will continue even after you return home.

“Sleep retreats allow people the space to unplug and reconnect with themselves and our environment,” Shea says.
