      <title>Bengaluru woman wins massive prize in sleeping contest</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330394331/bengaluru-woman-wins-massive-prize-in-sleeping-contest</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An investment banker from Bengaluru, Saishwari Patil, has transformed her passion for sleep into a remarkable achievement, winning INR9 lakh as the ‘Sleep Champion’ in Wakefit’s third season of its sleep internship program.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This innovative initiative, designed for individuals who value sleep despite their busy lives, involved 12 selected ‘&lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/10392354/unilever-sales-disappoint-as-competition-bites-big-brands"&gt;sleep interns&lt;/a&gt;’ who committed to getting eight to nine hours of sleep each night, along with 20-minute daytime power naps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The program provided participants with premium mattresses and contactless sleep trackers to help monitor and enhance their sleep patterns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interns also attended regular workshops led by sleep experts to refine their sleeping habits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The selection process for this unique internship included an application screening, video resumes showcasing the candidates’ enthusiasm for sleep, and personal interviews to assess their commitment to improving sleep quality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over three seasons, the &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/30246004"&gt;program&lt;/a&gt; has attracted more than one million registrations and awarded a total of INR63 lakh in stipends.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saishwari’s journey began with a casual application fueled by curiosity. She soon became deeply invested in the program, learning valuable insights into sleep science, including the importance of various sleep cycles for overall well-being.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She emphasized the need for &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/30353358/female-student-dies-after-suffering-head-injury-in-judo-competition-in-kps-mardan"&gt;discipline&lt;/a&gt;, stating that participants must adhere to a strict sleep schedule and minimize late-night distractions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the competitive nature of the program, which can induce stress, Saishwari managed to maintain a relaxed mindset, ultimately achieving her goal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She encourages others to prioritize sleep, sharing tips such as listening to calming music, establishing bedtime rituals, and even showering before bed to improve sleep quality.&lt;/p&gt;
