A recent survey indicated that 93 percent of Indians are sleep deprived and 11 percent actually fall asleep in the work place.

58 percent of the respondents say that their work was affected by their lack of sleep. 74 percent claim that they woke up 1-3 times during their sleep.
62 percent of the respondents displayed a high risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a condition that is characterized by repeated cessation of breathing during sleep and is also linked to heart disease and heart failure.
