What is a Sleepover?

What is the one thing every teacher’s first week in summer programs? Sleep. And as much as we can find.

But what if we made time throughout the year to prioritize and delay our much-needed sleep? Enter the new trend: sleepovers, or sleepovers.

What is a dorm, and why do teachers need it?

The concept of a sleepover is simple. Instead of escaping the busy city and following a packed itinerary, guests check into a quiet hotel, set their phone to Do Not Disturb, and focus on one thing and one thing only: sleep.

Teachers are lumps. We organize the papers. We attend very important meetings that should be emails. Making ancient history fun and geometry more fun. Training teams. Running clubs. Keeping muscles and tying shoes. We keep the peace.

And we do all this with one eye closed (and a lot of coffee).

Teachers, it’s time to slow down. It’s time to sleep. Time for a good night’s sleep.

In addition, it’s time for a sleepover, also known as a sleepover.

Because unlike a regular vacation, which can leave you more tired than when you started, a sleepover is about regaining your rest. And you really need to rest to be your best self.

A dream vacation experience for teachers

Because you don’t need another “to do” on your long list, we’re going to make this very easy.

There are a number of hotels that specialize in overnight tourism. From high-end hotels that will pull out all the stops to ensure you get the deep, restorative rest of your life, to budget-friendly hotels that offer a combination of comfortable overnight, short-stay options. There are hotels in remote areas where you can bet no one will find you, and there are places close to home where you can sneak away for a blissful, undisturbed snooze.

Here are a few of our favorites to get you started.

Westin Hotels and Resorts

Westin has developed a wellness program that emphasizes a good night’s sleep. It begins with their Heavenly Bed. As well as a temperature-regulating interior, this modern wonder has a thick coating that softens your body. Every guest is gifted with Sleep Well Lavender Balm and encouraged to massage the sleep-inducing oil into temples and wrists before bed. Finally, some hotels even offer a Sleep Menu, which includes healthy foods and drinks that promote sleep.

Sleep Inn Hotel Designed for Dreaming Places

This budget-friendly option does not disappoint. Sleep Inn has developed its Designed for Dreaming spaces to feel like a soothing oasis, featuring nature-themed designs, warm colors, and luxurious furnishings. Guests can also count on a full hot breakfast buffet, fitness center, and pool during their vacation.

Stay safe Delos

Delos, a pioneer in designing wellness spaces, has partnered with many hotels across the country to create rooms that offer a holistic wellness experience, focused on a good night’s sleep. Services at these locations include access to Deepak Chopra’s guided meditations, aromatherapy, nightlights, morning simulators, online access to Cleveland Clinic’s life-changing wellness programs, and much more. Living in a Good Living Room is like taking care of yourself; honestly, we think it should definitely be considered professional development at its best.

The Four Seasons

Beyond extra amenities like lavender-infused sleep masks and bedtime tea (available upon request), Four Seasons’ specialty mattresses are what set this luxury hotel chain apart. Fifty years of consulting with guests and sleep professionals has resulted in the Four Seasons Bed, designed by Simmons. The bed comes with three different toppers: Signature Firm, Signature, and Signature Plush. Covered in 300 count cotton linens, down pillows, and a duvet. Additionally, soundproof rooms with black drapes mean a quiet place to sleep. Request turndown service so a staff member can discreetly prepare your room for the best night’s sleep of your life. Check out the special lodging services offered by the Four Seasons hotels. For example, at the Four Seasons Resort Bali in Sayan, guests can enjoy the Sacred Nap, a guided “spirit nap” in a silk hammock.

How to take a place to sleep … without leaving home!

Sometimes a hotel getaway isn’t in the financial or time budget—we get you. But there are a few things you can do at home to make your bedroom feel extra dreamy. Here is our simple recipe for accommodation.

Aromatherapy

Light a lavender scented candle in your room. My favorite is the Threshold Calm candle from Target. It is a soothing medley of lavender and sage. Sandalwood or chamomile is also a pleasant scent associated with relaxation.

Read a story before going to bed

There is something meditative about reading before bed. Sometimes, the right book can put its reader to sleep very quickly. Check out the book This Tricky But Very Effective Book Will Put You To Sleep. Filled with illustrations of sheep to be counted, this newsletter is filled with only dull and useless information—readers are guaranteed to fall asleep within minutes.

Make a dreamy drink

Chamomile tea or warm milk with honey are the best drinks before bed. They go well with cozy flannel jackets and plush pillows. My favorite chamomile tea is Celestial Seasonings’ Sleepytime. There’s something about that snoozing bear in the box that shows sleep in my brain.

Take a warm bath

Light some candles, dim the lights, play some meditation music, and slip into a warm bubble bath. It is the perfect way to relax the senses into a calm state before sleep. I like to add Dr. Teal with melatonin in my tub. Soft bubbles envelop you in the sweetest scent of lavender and chamomile.

Create your own dropshipping service

Before going to bed, prepare the bed. Close the curtains and dim the lights. Pull back the covers and flip the pillows. Play soft music, set up the blankets, and light a candle. Treat yourself like royalty because you deserve it!

No matter where you lay your head, sleep well teachers. You’ve earned it.
