JAKARTA - Recently a trend emerged in a different tourism concept, namely sleeping tourism. This tour offers a non-tire vacation, but calms and rests completely by sleeping.

Quoted from the Hindustian Times, on Monday, April 28, 2025, sleep tourism is a type of vacation whose main focus is not traveling, but sleeping, resting to recover.

However, this tour does not mean that someone just sleeps without doing anything. This tourism concept is more about giving the body and mind the opportunity to really relax without pressure.

"Basically, this is a vacation with a pure focus on sleep and recovering from our daily lives," said sleep expert Dr. Dean Miller of CQ University.

Usually sleeping tourist destinations are in a quiet, cool, and far from the bustle of the city. The hotel or inn that offers this tour is specially designed to create a maximum rest atmosphere, such as a comfortable mattress, a therapeutic aroma, white noise, to a schedule of activities that support a healthy sleep pattern.

Some of the activities on sleep tourism designed to support healthy sleep patterns are yoga, meditation, spa, warm water baths, to workshops about healthy sleep. There are also places that provide special areas for reading, drinking tea while looking at nature, and various other slow-pace activities.

This tourism concept is increasingly becoming a trend because most people's lifestyles are currently very busy and stressful. Many people are increasingly aware that rest is as important as entertainment.

Sleep tourism comes as a real self-care form. Not only to calm the body and restore the body's energy, but also to calm the mind.

In Indonesia, there are several places that can be used as destinations for sleeping tourism. Like eco-resorts in Bali, which offer a calm feel in the middle of rice fields or forests.

There are also many villas in Lembang area, Bogor, Malang which also offer a quiet and quiet atmosphere, which is suitable for sleeping tourism to heal yourself.
