Budget hotel chain Travelodge has revealed its vision on how hotel rooms might be able to help guests sleep better over the coming two decades through technological developments.

The company commissioned a study from futurologist Ian Pearson, who predicts that interactive dreaming; sleep studying; and health monitoring could transform how people sleep by 2030. According to Pearson's report, it is thought that some medical conditions may be diagnosed through an analysis of sleep patterns, while dreams will become more interactive and manageable.

The report also examined how hotel rooms might cater for the changes using electrical enhancement, such as visual displays, audio speakers or ambient sounds. Pearson said: "In future, lonely business travellers will be able to turn their hotel room into their bedroom at home and with augmented and virtual reality, they can even share the experience with their partner anywhere in the world.

"Leisure travellers will be able to bring their favourite sights, sounds and smells into their hotel room for the ultimate stay."
