VistaJet is proud to announce the Sleep Program – a science-backed approach to rest and recovery at altitude. It’s the first such innovation in global private aviation dedicated to quality sleep, enabling VistaJet Members to arrive at destination rested, focused and ready for what matters most.
The Sleep Program was created in response to a notable increase in long-haul travel, with over 58% of VistaJet flights crossing multiple time zones, and thousands operating overnight this year alone. The Program applies scientific principles of recovery, circadian alignment and cognitive performance to transform rest in-flight into a restorative advantage. Recent research by ResMed shows that over one-third of adults experience insomnia, while according to McKinsey and over half experience poor sleep quality. VistaJet is therefore addressing a true demand for supportive travel solutions, that consider the wider needs of all passengers, whether travelling for business or leisure.
Developed in collaboration with longevity and health expert Peter Attia, MD – Founder of Early Medical, bestselling author and host of ‘The Drive’ podcast –alongside VistaJet’s in-house nutritionist and a team of specially trained Cabin Hosts, the Program translates leading sleep science into an in-flight environment that supports recovery, mental sharpness and long-term wellbeing.
The VistaJet Sleep Program integrates evidence-based circadian management, light control and nutrition protocols into every stage of the journey. Each element is designed to help Members arrive at their destination refreshed, balanced and ready to perform – regardless of who is traveling and for what purpose. The programme also considers family travel and flying with pets, with a practical approach to recovery that applies to anyone who flies across time zones.
“Sleep is a critical component of health, performance, and longevity – yet it is often the first thing disrupted by travel. What excites me about partnering with VistaJet is the ability to influence this process in flight. By creating an environment where light, rest, and recovery are carefully shaped to support circadian alignment, traveling becomes a restorative experience instead of a disruptive one. I look forward to continuing to introduce more insights and recommendations across all aspects of wellbeing, including planning, nutrition, exercise and recovery, to further VistaJet Members’ journeys, no matter where they are travelling to or from,” says Peter Attia.
The best rest at 40,000 feet
Informed by research in sleep physiology and chronobiology, VistaJet has created an environment designed to promote natural sleep, recovery and alignment – even when crossing multiple time zones.
• Pre-sleep: Cabin Hosts prepare the cabin according to each member’s preferred rest schedule. Temperature, lighting and sound are adjusted to encourage melatonin release, with sleep-supportive amenities available to ease the transition into rest.
• During sleep: The cabin is maintained at optimal temperature, while guests rest in true comfort with hypoallergenic bedding. Cabin Hosts monitor the environment to sustain deep, uninterrupted sleep.
• Post-sleep: Lighting is gradually adjusted to simulate natural waking, aiding circadian reset. Hydrating beverages and nutrient-rich meals are prepared to support alertness, focus and physical recovery.
Cabin Hosts are also trained in preparing the cabin for shorter periods of rest, allowing for a quick reset that boosts energy and productivity ahead of arriving at destination.
For VistaJet’s Members – from leaders and executives to world-class athletes – sleep is an essential component of sustained performance, as Formula One racing driver and VistaJet Ambassador Charles Leclerc can attest: “With a demanding travel schedule, sleep helps to maximise my recovery both physically and mentally so I’m sharp, focused and ready to strive for the best results.”
According to McKinsey research, two-thirds of global executives are dissatisfied with how much they sleep, and 55% with its quality, underscoring the growing recognition that rest is a critical enabler of performance. The Sleep Program reflects the company’s science-backed commitment to better travel – helping Members arrive focused, restored and ready for the opportunities ahead.
