Inability to Sleep in Unfamiliar Hotel Rooms Ruining Trips and Causing Health Anxiety

Summary
Travelers often experience severe sleep deprivation in hotel rooms due to unfamiliar environments, light leaks, noise, uncomfortable beds, and anxiety, even if they have no insomnia at home. This can escalate into health anxiety (e.g., heart concerns) and ruin the entire trip, forcing desperate measures like taking sedatives. Existing solutions like white noise apps, melatonin, and basic amenities are inadequate, and there is no comprehensive tool to adapt hotel rooms for sleep or provide personalized sleep solutions during travel.
