Can This Hotel’s Deep Sleep Turndown Menu Help You Get a Better Night’s Sleep?

A piece of chocolate on your pillow might be a classic turndown gesture, but the caffeine and sugar aren't exactly sleep-friendly. What if, instead, your hotel offered something designed to help you fall asleep faster and wake up truly refreshed?

That’s the idea behind ModernHaus SoHo’s Deep Sleep Turndown Menu. Set in the heart of lively SoHo, this chic hotel attracts a stylish, social crowd. But when it comes time to unwind in the city that never sleeps, actually turning your brain off and getting a good night’s rest after an action-packed day can be a challenge.

To help guests truly relax, ModernHaus SoHo is offering a curated turndown menu with sleep amenities. The hotel has partnered with Helight Sleep to give guests the chance to try the brand’s portable red light therapy device. This tiny, travel-friendly tool mimics the natural rhythm of a sunset, supporting your body’s circadian rhythm and boosting melatonin production for deeper, more restful sleep.

Rather than drifting off under glaring overhead lights or the glow of a phone screen, I switched on the Helight Sleep during my stay. It runs a 28-minute cycle—14 minutes of gradually increasing red light followed by 14 minutes of soft fade-out—using a patented 630nm wavelength engineered to gently lull your body into sleep. The result? A natural, tech-powered way to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. In fact, I drifted off before the red light even finished its cycle—a personal record, especially since I typically struggle to fall asleep quickly on my first night in a hotel.
