The Hotel Room Sleep Kit: Strange beds made friendly

June Alderwood

You settle into an unfamiliar mattress, the hum of a mini fridge somewhere nearby. This guide meets you exactly there. June Alderwood walks you through the particular loneliness of strange rooms: the too-firm pillow, the mystery of who stayed here before, the brain that refuses to power down. You will learn to notice what wired actually feels like in your body, then release it through a slow tour from toes to forehead. Serena Sherwin reads in a voice like someone trustworthy sitting on the edge of the bed, quiet and unhurried, never rushing the pauses. The chapters move gently from settling in to letting go, each one a small permission to rest exactly where you are. Take off your shoes and stay awhile.
