90% Indians don't sleep at the right time: Study
A recent study conducted by Godrej Interio reveals that sleeping post 10 pm is clinically declared as the inappropriate time to go to sleep as it triggers a change in the sleeping pattern that leads to sleep deprivation. This is irrespective of the number of hours of sleep. The study was conducted across 8,000 Indians living across the metros in India.
Over 93% of Indians are sleep deprived
Godrej Interio, India's leading furniture brand in both home and institutional segments, launched the "Sleep@10" campaign last year that focuses on addressing the rising concern over sleep deprivation in India. Over 93% of Indians are sleep deprived. The study is based on the insights sourced from Indians that have taken their sleep test on the sleep-o-meter hosted on the Sleep@10 website.
Mumbai, the most sleep-deprived city in India
Over 1.5 lakh Indians have taken the sleep test on Sleep@10's website. Mumbai is found to be the most sleep-deprived city in India. The survey also found that nine out of every ten respondents felt dull after they wake up. The study further revealed that the problem of not sleeping on time wasn't only restricted to adults but kids as well.
The slumber is composed of a series of 90-minute cycles
Dr. Preeti Devanani, Sleep medicine specialist said, "The time...when you sleep makes a significant difference in terms of the architecture and quality of your sleep." "The slumber is composed of a series of 90-minute cycles when the brain moves from lighter stages to deep slow wave sleep which is a part of non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep and Rapid Eye Movement sleep," Devanani added.
