BENGALURU: A city resident has achieved what many consider the dream of a lifetime – winning a massive prize for sleeping! A young woman from Bengaluru recently clinched the top spot in a unique “sleeping contest” organized by a wellness company aiming to promote the importance of quality rest.
Participants were judged on their ability to sleep soundly under controlled conditions while being monitored for health metrics such as heart rate, stress levels, and sleep quality. The Bengaluru-based woman, who identified as a firm advocate of good sleep habits, impressed the judges by sleeping for an uninterrupted 9.5 hours with optimal health indicators.
The contest, held over a week, featured contestants from across India, with the winner taking home a cash prize of ₹5 lakh and a luxury mattress set. Speaking to the media, the winner said, “It feels surreal to be rewarded for something I truly value—good sleep. I hope this encourages more people to prioritize their health and rest.”
The event highlighted the rising awareness around sleep hygiene and its critical role in overall well-being, especially in high-stress urban environments like Bengaluru.
