Sencie has announced its official entry into the National Sleep Foundation’s SleepTech Network, a move that highlights the growing importance of sleep health in the travel and hospitality sectors. This partnership was unveiled during Sleep Awareness Week 2026, marking a significant step toward integrating sleep science into the guest experience. By joining this collaborative community, Sencie aligns itself with a diverse group of innovators ranging from tech startups to global corporations, all dedicated to advancing sleep technology and accessible health solutions.

The National Sleep Foundation’s SleepTech Network serves as a hub for education and research, allowing members to share insights and stay informed on emerging trends. For Sencie, this membership facilitates a deeper connection with global experts as they work to refine their WellSense design framework. This specialized approach focuses on creating environments specifically built with sleep in mind, utilizing circadian lighting rhythms, restorative scent pathways, and tactile materials to help travelers achieve their best possible rest while away from home.

Susie Harborth, CEO and Founder of Sencie, emphasized that sleep tourism is becoming a foundational element of modern travel. Through collaborations with hotels and travel brands, Sencie translates rigorous sleep research into practical, sensory-driven solutions that support guest recovery and overall wellbeing. This effort is supported by the National Sleep Foundation’s broader mission to make science-based sleep tools more accessible to the public. As the sleep technology industry continues to grow, the integration of these innovations into travel infrastructure ensures that restorative sleep becomes a standard expectation rather than a luxury.
