Oura's report on sleep trends in India:

To mark its entry into the market, ŌURA has also released a new report exploring the sleep trends of its Indian members. The report highlights that India's fast-paced, always-on lifestyle is severely impacting recovery.

Here are the key takeaways from the report:

Short sleep and lost recovery: India is among the shortest-sleeping populations globally, with users averaging just 6 hours and 28 minutes of sleep per night. Consequently, Indians get the lowest amount of REM and deep sleep in the world, losing over an hour of crucial REM sleep a week compared to the global average.

A nation of night owls: A staggering 59% of Indian Oura Members fall into evening-oriented chronotypes, the highest percentage anywhere in the world. The average bedtime is around 12:14 AM, yet wake times remain consistent with global averages at 7:43 AM, explaining the squeezed sleep duration.

The power nap champions: To combat this sleep debt, Indians record the longest average nap duration globally at 53 minutes. Interestingly, Monday emerged as the country's most common nap day, highlighting the need to power up for the busy week ahead.
