Yowza, it seems these posh hotels and resorts around the world have gone absolutely bonkers. They've turned into giant nap centers, for Pete's sake!
They call it 'sleep tourism' and apparently, it's a flaming hot trend. These pardy poopers are shelling out the wonga to go on vacation just to catch some zzz's, I mean, it's bedlam!
Even old Geezer's Lodge in New York copped a gigantic 900-square-foot suite and filled it with sleep 'enhancers', branding it as some fancy sleep haven. And then there's this 'Alchemy of Sleep' shack that's been telling folks that their retreats 'promote rest' on holiday. What a load of poppycock!
It's like these swanky holiday-makers would rather toddle off to dreamland than enjoy themselves on travel. If you ask me, they've all got their knickers in a twist, and I blame this fear of being on the go.
Turns out, there's even fancy-named scientists like Dr. Whatchamacallit, who's got her nose all up in the clouds saying tourists book hotels just for a place to snooze. Total tosh I say! Hotels are for big beds 'n' bigger breakfasts, ain't nobody got time to sleep on vacation.
But y' see, folks are getting brainwashed left, right, and center. They want 'sleep concierge' services, sleep-inducing teas, and special pillows. A mug's game, I say! It's high time we put a cork in this snooze cruise for good.
To be gin' with, I find it a load of old cobblers that a short holiday focused on sleeping will somehow magically fix your sleep problems, unless you have one of them 'untreated sleep disorders'. In that case, bugger off to a doctor, not a hotel!
I do think, however, that other resorts and hotels must take a leaf out of this book. Not because it's a brilliant idea, but because it could turn hotels into ghost shells with everyone always knackered. Imagine how quiet that would make the late-night bar!
In my humble world, the idea of vacation is more about beach shenanigans and less about counting sheep. But everyone to their own bed, right?
