Gravitas: Wakefit announces holiday on World Sleep Day

<p>There's nothing better than doing what you love. And it gets even more fun when you get paid for it. Now imagine you're at work doing the thing you love, but you're not actually working. Confused? Here's the answer: a 26-year-old Triparna Chakraborty from Kolkata found her way to her desirable dream job and won a staggering Rs 5 lakh ($6,273) for her exceptional sleeping abilities.</p>

<p>Chakraborty submitted an application for a Wakefit.co internship programme. Wakefit.co is a D2C sleep solution firm.</p>

<p>Triparna, a Howrah resident, won the competition. She slept for nine hours nonstop for 100 straight days, defeating four of her fellow contestants to win the sleep-off. She gave a brief explanation of her pre-sleep routine to her followers, outlining some simple habits they may adopt to get a restful night's sleep.</p>

There's nothing better than doing what you love. And it gets even more fun when you get paid for it. Now imagine you're at work doing the thing you love, but you're not actually working. Confused? Here's the answer: a 26-year-old Triparna Chakraborty from Kolkata found her way to her desirable dream job and won a staggering Rs 5 lakh ($6,273) for her exceptional sleeping abilities. Chakraborty submitted an application for a Wakefit.co internship programme. Wakefit.co is a D2C sleep solution firm. Triparna, a Howrah resident, won the competition. She slept for nine hours nonstop for 100 straight days, defeating four of her fellow contestants to win the sleep-off. She gave a brief explanation of her pre-sleep routine to her followers, outlining some simple habits they may adopt to get a restful night's sleep.
