On World Sleep Day 2021, a global survey revealed that the pandemic had quietly reshaped the nightly rhythms of millions of Indian adults, introducing new forms of sleeplessness where there had been none before. The disruptions of lockdown — anxiety, uncertainty, the blurring of day and night — had become biological, registering in fractured sleep and exhausted mornings. Yet within this disruption, something unexpected emerged: a growing willingness to seek help through digital means, suggesting that crisis, as it often does, had also opened new pathways toward care.

Indian consumers face increased health challenges from sleep disorders, leading to higher healthcare expenditures, reduced workplace productivity, and quality of life deterioration. However, increased telehealth adoption provides more accessible and affordable sleep care options, particularly benefiting remote populations.
Government may need to: (1) Strengthen digital health infrastructure and telehealth regulations for sleep care; (2) Increase awareness campaigns on sleep hygiene and sleep disorders; (3) Incentivize healthcare providers to offer sleep diagnostic services; (4) Consider workplace wellness policies addressing pandemic-induced sleep issues; (5) Regulate telemedicine pricing for sleep consultations.
