    The Sleep Company unveils World Sleep Day campaign #OneMoreHour

    Mumbai: Celebrating World Sleep Day, The Sleep Company, India’s leading comfort-tech brand, today announced the launch of its #OneMoreHour campaign advocating India to sleep better. The campaign began with an Instagram poll by Anil Kapoor asking individuals to vote for the number of hours they sleep daily. The poll results indicate that only 15 per cent respondents sleep more than 8 hours, with a majority 60 per cent sleeping only 6-7 hours per day. About 25 per cent of people sleep less than 6 hours each day, revealing a concerning trend of insufficient rest nationwide.

    Regular eight hours of sleep every night is important for overall health. It allows the body to repair and recharge thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular issues. Recognizing the adverse effects of inadequate sleep on health and lifestyle, the company encourages people to commit to sleeping one additional hour daily, fostering a collective effort towards better sleep quality. Further the brand also encouraged individuals to take a pledge to sleep #OneMoreHour and participants stood a chance to win SmartGRID products. Over 5,000 people took the pledge and nominated more than 10,000 friends and family to become a part of the movement.

     

     

    The Sleep Company collaborated with health expert Digvijay Singh and other lifestyle influencers to raise awareness on the impact of inadequate sleep on one’s health and overall well-being. These health experts and influencers also became a part of the movement by taking the pledge.

    The brand has also created video of a CGI SmartGRID mattress to depict the campaign and Indians pledging to sleep #OneMoreHour.

     

     

    The Sleep Company co-founder Priyanka Salot stated, “An ideal sleep cycle should be of 7 hours however our poll results indicate that majority of individuals do not get enough sleep. With India being the second most sleep deprived country; we want to advocate better sleep habits among individuals and contribute to a healthy society. We are overwhelmed to see the response from this campaign with people pledging to rest well. This World Sleep Day, let us pledge to sleep #OneMoreHour every day and take a step towards a healthy sleep routine.”

    Celebrating World Sleep Day, the company is also extending discounts of up to 45 per cent on its products from 15 to 17 March facilitating improved sleep options for individuals.

The passion driving the duo through their journey further builds a profound connection with their narrative. “Once Upon A Trip!

There’s a raw and real quality to this experience, so different from the scripted roles I’m used to. It’s about forming genuine connections, embracing laughter, and the unexpected surprises along the way. This show particularly has allowed me to see Dubai with a sense of wonder and authenticity. JioTV, serving as a robust and expansive platform, is the perfect powerhouse for presenting this authentic journey to our viewers at a grand scale. My hope is that it will inspire our audience to appreciate the beauty of Dubai and the magic inherent in the real-life adventures that I shared with Maniesh.”

Each day was a new adventure in this magnificent city uncovering a new sense of wonder and joy. ‘Once Upon A Trip! To Dubai’ brought out an authentic joy and spontaneity that was refreshingly real. The streets of Dubai aren’t just backdrops; they’re alive with stories and unexpected turns, much like my own journey that I shared with AK. This show has been a revelation, showing me the power of impromptu moments and the genuine connections that come from shared laughter and experiences. JioTV has played an indispensable role in bringing this exhilarating journey to the screens, making it a grand experience for our viewers. I hope our audience finds as much joy and surprise in watching this travel show as I did in creating it.”

    The show culminates in a captivating finale featuring a special guest appearance by the talented Emirati soul singer Arqam Al Abri whose musical artistry adds a distinctive and enriching dimension to the last episode, beautifully echoing Dubai’s rich and diverse artistic landscape.
