Hotel plans sleep patrols

Britain’s Travelodge chain will have staff patrolling hotel hallways at night to check on noisy customers.

The move, reported in UK media, is part of a program to ensure that guests get a good night’s sleep.

It has been prompted by the findings of a survey showing that Britons generally do not get as much sleep as they need - an average six hours 21 minutes a night. That’s well below the recommended eight hours.

The survey was based on 6000 interviews.

Travelodge reckons lack of sleep is costing British employers one billion UK pounds (about $1.6 billion) a year.

It’s going to spend the equivalent of $16m on a ‘sleep program’ which will include replacing hundreds of mattresses, duvets and pillows.
