Eight hours of sleep, albeit a well-established norm, can be challenging to adhere to. And Indians are particularly bad at it. A survey conducted by electronics and fitness company Fitbit in 2016 showed that the country clocked in the worst figure of sleep time — six hours and 55 minutes — right after Japan. These aren't facts we can easily ignore; research has shown that healthy sleep habits may lower the risk of heart failure and improve mindfulness.

While there are a slew of sleep-tracking and meditation apps in the market, a new feature by mental wellness start-up Mindhouse is designed to help you sleep. It's called Sleep Stories and features a set of relaxing tales — A Night in the Forest or A Swiss Adventure — that are narrated by actors Rahul Bose, Konkona Sen Sharma and Amol Parashar.
