Insufficient sleep (quantity and quality) is a global health epidemic that has serious public health and economic costs. To help tackle this crisis, the GWI has launched a Sleep Initiative, which will uncover the evidence-based strategies that contribute to restorative sleep and how to incorporate these into lifestyles, homes and hotels.
The Initiative is co-chaired by Allison Howard, founder and CEO of Nollapelli, and Francisco Levine, chief business officer of Bryte Labs—and members include Michael J. Breus, PhD; Param Dedhia MD, Canyon Ranch; Thom Downing, athletic trainer; Tammy Pahel VP, Spa & Wellness, Carillon Miami Wellness Resort; Dr. Rebecca Robbins, Harvard Medical School; and JD Velilla, Sr. Director, Sleep Experience & Technology, Tuft & Needle.
