We all love adventure travel – some more than others – but a good night’s sleep while on the road is just as important and restorative as the bungie jump, zip line or game drive. We are still unraveling all the ways that sleep, or lack thereof impacts our wellness. A majority of American’s lack sufficient sleep and according to the CDC about 1 and 3 suffer from some type of sleep disorder.
The hotel industry has been taking notice. Remember when the ‘pillow menu’ at top hotels was introduced? Now making sure your premium shut-eye is part of your travel experience has gone far beyond the place you lay your head. So, we thought you might like to check into one of these top spots before you check-out for the ultimate restorative experience.

Sleep is in the Bag
Lastly, before you embark, grab an Act of Wellness R&R sleeping mask – and we don’t mean the kind that covers our eyes on a plane. Sleep is critical to the health of our largest organ, the skin, because as we cycle through various sleep stages at night our skin has the chance to repair itself. Without sufficient sleep, we shorten our skin’s repair cycles and it can show outwardly in how healthy the skin looks and feels.
The ingredients in the mask were picked to boost the skin during the sleep stages our skin goes through each night. During those various stages, our brains produce hormones that help with day-to-day skin repair, protect the skin from damaging free radicals and produce collagen. This contributes to our wellbeing and happiness and, we know you want to look your best out there in the world.
