At Swissôtel Berlin, stressed business
executives and guests with sleeping problems will in future be
offered the chance to try the DeepSleep Package.
The package is part of the Chrono-Health Concept
developed by sleep consultant Dr. Michael Feld in collaboration
with Swissôtel Berlin and available as an exclusive offer. The
DeepSleep Package, which costs €60.00 on top of the regular room
rate, aids healthy sleep – and may even help guests lose weight.
The DeepSleep Package is a science-based concept
to promote biological, psychological and physiological
regeneration by means of a special combination of effective
measures such as light therapy, power napping, breathing thin air,
aromatherapy, selected dietary supplements and sleep improvement
with the aid of binaural beats.
The “DeepSleeper” starts their day with a
30-minute session in front of a bright light lamp (10,000 lux).
Alternatively, guests who do not like to sit still can use the
“light-to-go” made by
Valkee, which is designed as a headset.
Before breakfast, the guest also receives a power drink created by
Executive Chef Danijel Kresovic containing a combination of herbs
designed to have an energising effect. An aromatherapy session is
also carried out using lemongrass essences and citrus oils. Smells
penetrate directly into the parts of the brain that deal with
emotions, bypassing the cerebrum. Therefore aromas can be a
powerful stimulus and – if used correctly – can have a vitalising
effect. Together, these three components result in enhanced
performance, mood and fitness – enabling the guest to feel more
awake and enjoy a greater sense of vitality.
During their lunch break, the stressed-out
manager can replenish their energy reserves for the afternoon in
Swissôtel Berlin’s PowerNap Lounge. Most people experience a
metabolic low between 2.00pm and 4.00pm which can be successfully
bridged with the aid of a power nap. The napping couches - “Inemuri
Loungers” made by Eurofoam - were developed in cooperation with
physiotherapists and sleep experts and are specially shaped for
optimum power napping. The pleasant 20-30 minute rest for the
body, mind and soul, combined with a relaxing colour and sound
ambiance, leaves the guest feeling recuperated and able to perform
better in the afternoon and, if done regularly, can even reduce
the risk of a heart attack.
A 30-minute evening session of breathing thin
air from a special mountain air generator in the PowerNap Lounge
is designed to reduce mental and physical tension levels. Inhaling
thin air causes nitrogen monoxide – which widens blood vessels and
aids relaxation – to be released into the bloodstream, resulting
in lower blood pressure and a pleasant sense of relaxation, which
in turn promotes deeper sleep. These components are again
complemented with a special DeepSleep Drink, which this time
contains a blend of herbs designed to help wind down the body and
mind. The late-evening aromatherapy session is based on calming
aromas such as lavender and geranium. If the “DeepSleeper” also
wishes to lose weight, it is possible to use the thin air device
on a treadmill. Exercising in thin air increases the fat burn rate
by up to 30%. Finally, to help the guest reach the DeepSleep phase, the normal pillow is replaced with a special
“sound pillow” which plays sounds known as “binaural beats” which
increase the level of relaxing sleep brainwaves, making it easier
to achieve a restful sleep.
