Bengaluru: Ahead of World Sleep Day, YouGov and Amazon Alexa conducted a survey across 10 Indian cities to analyze bedtime habits and their impact on sleep quality. The study reveals that 53% of respondents experience sleep-related issues when they do not follow a consistent bedtime routine. However, 54% of those who maintain a regular sleep routine report noticeable improvements in their sleep quality.
Key Findings from the Survey

- Common Pre-Sleep Activities: Popular nighttime habits include watching video content (63%), staying connected with family and friends (59%), listening to podcasts, music, or audiobooks (58%), and scrolling through social media (57%).
- Role of Voice Assistants: One in two respondents (52%) use voice assistants like Alexa to manage their sleep routines. Adoption is higher among individuals aged 35-45 compared to those aged 25-34.

Growing Interest in Wellness Activities
The survey highlights a rising interest in incorporating wellness activities into bedtime routines. While only 27% currently engage in meditation or journaling, more than 50% expressed interest in adding wellness habits like meditation, journaling, light exercises, and skincare routines.
Additionally, 34% of respondents are interested in having a relaxing beverage or snack before bedtime, up from the 21% who currently do so. Other preferred activities include avoiding phone usage, engaging in brain games or puzzles, and unwinding with music or podcasts.
