Travelodge Hotels has also appointed a Sleep Expert, Dr David Hillman – Chairman of the Sleep Health Foundation, who lends his years of expertise in the area of sleep. Travelodge guests can now sleep easy thanks to the Foundation’s top sleep tips and advice on topics such as how to beat jet-lag and how to make a hotel room feel more like home. Dr Hillman will also provide ongoing expertise to help Travelodge continue to create hotels and guest rooms that encourage the best night’s sleep possible.
