Survey Reveals What Really Goes on Between the Sheets at Hotels Around the Globe

A survey of 250,000 hotel guests asking about their vacation habits has produced surprising results.

A recent survey of 250,000 people by Hotels.com has yielded surprising results about what hotel guests across the world are doing in their rooms while on vacation.

The survey overwhelmingly showed that guests love sleeping in the buff while on holiday — France topped the chart with 51 percent going to bed in the nude, followed by the UK at 24 percent — but regardless of those numbers, it seems only 46 percent of Brits use that naked time for making love. Sixty-seven percent would really just prefer to watch television.

Either way, the benefits of sleeping naked have been largely reported by medical professionals, so sex or not, hotel guests are doing it right.

“The advantage of sleeping naked is it’s easier for the body to cool and maintain the lower temperature the brain wants to achieve,” Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre and author of Sound Asleep: The Expert Guide to Sleeping Well, told Daily Mail. “If anything prevents that decline in temperature, the brain will wake itself up to see what’s going on, meaning you’ll struggle to get to sleep or you’ll have disturbed sleep.”

The survey also showed that dreams are different while traveling as well. Fifty percent of travelers in Mexican hotels reported calmer dreams, followed by 48 percent of travelers in Colombia and 45 percent in Taiwan.
