The objective of the Sleep Haven Suite at the Meliá Madrid Serrano is for guests to achieve a deep sleep so that they feel rested.
How is a perfect night's sleep in a hotel? No, do not think that it is the one in which you remain lying down for hours and hours in bed. "It's not a question of quantity but of quality", Dr. Nerina Ramlakhan reminds us, an expert in sleep and well-being, who collaborates with Meliá Hotels & Resorts to create a specific program to help guests of the Meliá Madrid Serrano, as well as other hotels in the chain, to rest and relax optimally.
"You can feel, without even turning on the light, the love, care and passion of a place, you can feel its soul, even before your five senses can perceive what is happening around you, you can feel it in your heart, you can feel it in your stomach, you can feel it in your body", explains the doctor, who has spent more than 20 years studying the functioning of the brain and sleep.
This that Dr. Ramlakhan tells is something that already happens naturally in the hotels of the Spanish hotel company. Soul Matters of Meliá Hotels & Resorts is doing things with such care and passion that the soul of things is awakened. The soul of those linen sheets placed with care first thing in the morning and chosen conscientiously, of that perfume that floods everything and welcomes you with indescribable sensations and memories, of that dish that you eat with views of the sea and that notes that it was cooked with great care...

Now Meliá Hotels & Resorts has wanted to go one step further and has designed in the The Level area of the Meliá Madrid Serrano the Sleep Haven Suite, in which, thanks to the profound knowledge of Dr. Nerina Ramlakhan the guest will feel the soul of everything that surrounds him, which will help you enjoy a pure night's sleep, which is the correct way to sleep, as described: "sleep is intelligently designed so that we can replenish and restore the body on all levels, not only physically, but also emotionally and spiritually; also to repair the brain.
The Sleep Haven experience begins long before hotel check-in, with a questionnaire asking guests about their lifestyle and sleep routines. Because articulating a personalized program like the one offered by Meliá Hotels & Resorts requires a lot of prior information with which to address different aspects of the person to be treated.
In total, there are five elements to which special attention must be paid, as confirmed by the doctor after spending two decades treating altered sleep patterns. she calls them "the five non-negotiables": nutrition, caffeine intake, hydration, relationship with technology and relationship with bedtime.

TIPS FOR 'DISCOVERING THE SOUL OF DREAMS'
- Nonnegotiable 1: eat breakfast about 30-45 minutes after waking up. It will help you create more melatonin and sleep better.
- Nonnegotiable 2: drink at least two liters of water a day, preferably alkaline, to avoid dehydration that many of us suffer without realizing it.
- Nonnegotiable 3: reduce your level of caffeine as much as possible, because in addition to being harmful to sleep, it is directly related to various health risks.
- Nonnegotiable 4: unplug from technology an hour before you go to bed. Our energy works in cycles of 60-90 minutes and the cycle before going to bed is key to rest. A good trick is to use the basket to deposit technological devices away from the bed offered by Meliá Hotels & Resorts.
- Nonnegotiable 5: go to bed before midnight at least four times a week. The best quality sleep is obtained between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., so if you stay up late much of your sleep will not be as restful.
SLEEP HAVEN SUITE
Already in the Sleep Haven Suite in the The Level area of the Madrid hotel, the guidelines continue to achieve a restful sleep that night. The guest will find a copy of the book Fast Asleep Wide Awake, by Nerina Ramlakhan, as well as a welcome letter from the doctor with tips on diet, exercise and yoga, appropriate suite temperature, technology usage guidelines, proper showering, and other initiatives related to the personal welfare during the stay that, in addition, will turn the suite into a happy and safe space.
"When we feel safe we sleep. Some people may have trouble sleeping even in a good hotel, so My collaboration with Meliá Hotels & Resorts is aimed at creating a home away from home. A sanctuary so that travelers and businessmen can enter the suite and feel that they are in a safe and deeply relaxing place, and thus feel at home," says the world-renowned specialist.
Achieving restful sleep depends on many factors, including diet, exercise or proper use of technology.
CONCIERGE SLEEP HAVEN
A member of the hotel team, specifically trained to develop the Sleep Haven wellness program, will be the one monitor guest sleep experience: preparing a bath at the end of the day, serving hot beverages before bed, and providing a Sleep Haven box with items to take with you for continue with the routines in her house: a sleep mask, earplugs, a lavender mist to spray on the pillow, Epsom bath salts, relaxing tea bags...
A service that may seem very functional, but it is much more than that. Soul Matters is when the Sleep Haven Concierge lovingly prepares the bath water and adds bath salts to it, when he politely invites you to put your technological devices away from the bed or when he is interested in proposing different massages or yoga classes to enjoy in the hotel.
"There is always an interaction with everything around us. When someone prepares and transmits that passion, inspiration and joy through the services it offers It directly impacts those who come into contact with that service. It is almost like Newton's principle in that Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. What we contribute is directly what is received," concludes Dr. Nerina Ramlakhan.
