Based on their sleep scores throughout the 60 days, three finalists will be shortlisted to compete in a finale where the winner will ultimately be crowned India’s next Sleep Champion. The Sleep Champion will take home upto INR 10 Lakh and a vacation to relax, unwind, and get some much-needed uninterrupted sleep time they truly deserve.
The Wakefit Sleep Internship has become an iconic property over the last 4 seasons, which is a testament to Wakefit’s mission of making India sleep better. In its trademark out-of-the-box approach, Wakefit.co introduced Sleep Internship, to incentivize people to sleep. The single goal of this property is to demonstrate via engaging content to the larger digital user base, on how the quality of life improves as sleep quality improves. Across 5 seasons, the property has attracted over 10 lakh registrations and engaged 51 interns who have collectively earned INR 63 lakh in stipends. Last year, Pooja Madhav Wavhal from Pune was crowned the Ultimate Sleep Champion and bagged INR 9.1 Lakh as part of The Wakefit Sleep Internship Season 4.
Speaking about the launch of Season 5, Chaitanya Ramalingegowda, Director & Co-founder, Wakefit.co, said: “Five seasons in, what continues to amaze us is how enthusiastically people embrace the idea of making sleep a priority. Having received nearly 2 lakh applications this year is a testament to how our Sleep Internship has evolved from a quirky campaign into a cultural phenomenon that gets people talking about healthier sleep habits. Behind all the fun lies a serious purpose; encouraging India to value quality sleep in a world where rest often takes a backseat. We’re excited to watch this year’s finalists begin their journey and can’t wait to see who ultimately earns the title of India’s next Sleep Champion. With the current season, we’re set to make the conversation bigger, more engaging and even more relatable by celebrating sleep in a way that only Wakefit can.”
Since its launch, the Wakefit Sleep Internship has become one of India’s most viral and distinctive consumer initiatives, successfully transforming sleep from an overlooked necessity into a cultural conversation. By blending humour, purpose and innovation, Wakefit continues to encourage Indians to rethink the value of rest, not just as a nightly routine, but as an essential pillar of overall health and well-being. Insights from Wakefit’s Great Indian Sleep Scorecard continue to reinforce the growing need for healthier sleep habits across the country, making the Sleep Internship more relevant than ever.
