New York hotel uses sleep concierge

A New York City hotel is so determined to make sure its customers get a good night's rest that it's got its own sleep concierge.

"I've learned a lot about sleep since I started this job," said Anya Orlanska, who four months ago took the job at The Benjamin, a hotel in midtown Manhattan. "There are so many things that can be done."



The hotel, which created the position several years ago, is serious about its mission, offering customers a mattress specifically created for the hotel and a menu of over a dozen different pillows including one with a speaker built into it and a cord that plugs into an iPod.

Guests also have the option of a before-bedtime massage and snacks believed to make you sleepy — for an extra charge.
