Mumbai that is known as a city that never sleeps, has been suffering the brunt of its action ---sleeping late. To highlight the necessity of sleeping early, Godrej Interio  announced a new health campaign #sleepat10 which was launched by Olympian Geeta Phogat. The gold medalist wrestler at the launch stressed on how important it is to sleep early, not for just athletes, but for everyone “’I usually sleep around 9 -9.30 and wake up at 4 for my practise, which has been a habit since I was a child. It is essential that people maintain a discipline when it comes to sleeping timings, and I’m saying this from my personal experiences.”
