Stuck Between The Snooze Button And The Hustle: Entrepreneurs Struggle To Get Quality Sleep

* Heartfulness & TiE Global Join Forces to Help Entrepreneurs Combat Sleep Deprivation Through Targeted Workshops across TiE Chapters globally

Coinciding with the World Sleep Day on March 14th, 2025, Heartfulness and TiE Global have released a survey highlighting the growing sleep crisis among entrepreneurs. Surveying 260 respondents (200+ entrepreneurs, start-up founders and 50+ tech professionals) across five major Indian cities—Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Pune—the findings reveal that 55% of startup founders and business leaders struggle with sleep. The relentless demands of long hours, high-pressure decision-making, and financial uncertainties are driving stress and burnout, impacting productivity and overall well-being.

The effects of sleep deprivation extend far beyond just feeling tired. Over 80% of respondents surveyed admitted that poor sleep significantly impacts their job performance, concentration, and workplace relationships. For entrepreneurs, however, the consequences are even more severe, with sleep deprivation impairing critical business functions like decision-making, creativity, and resilience—traits essential to business success. Many entrepreneurs also reported frequent sleep disturbances, with 19% rating their sleep quality as “poor” or “very poor.” Additionally, more than 26% of professionals are getting less than six hours of sleep per night, a problem that is even more pronounced among entrepreneurs.

Stress and anxiety have been identified as the leading causes of sleep difficulties, surpassing even the impact of screen exposure before bedtime. Half of the respondents reported moderate to elevated levels of stress and anxiety, with business pressures, funding challenges, and team management responsibilities contributing to elevated stress levels that make it difficult for entrepreneurs to unwind and achieve quality rest.

Rev. Daaji – Guide of Heartfulness & President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, emphasized the profound nature of sleep, stating, “Sleep is not merely rest but a sacred journey—an opportunity for the mind, body, and soul to rejuvenate. It is during sleep that the burdens of the ego loosen, allowing us to align with a deeper consciousness. Entrepreneurs who cultivate healthy sleep practices will discover a profound shift—not only in their well-being but in their ability to lead with wisdom, creativity, and balance. In this state of deep rest, intuition strengthens, clarity emerges, and the mind awakens to greater possibilities”

Murali Bukkapatnam, Chair of the TiE Global Board of Trustees, also shared his thoughts: “Entrepreneurs and startup founders often sacrifice sleep in their pursuit of success, but this survey highlights the tangible impact of sleep deprivation on productivity, decision-making, and overall performance. TiE Global is excited to partner with Heartfulness in offering these workshops to our chapters across the globe. Together, we are committed to providing resources that support entrepreneurs in achieving a healthier work-life balance, which is key to sustainable success.”

TiE Global & Heartfulness introduce sleep wellness workshops to help entrepreneurs restore balance and well-being.

As an intervention, TiE Global, in conjunction with Heartfulness, will now host multiple Sleep Workshops for its chapter members across the globe, both virtually and in person. To kickstart the initiative, the first workshop will be held on March 21, 2025, at 8:30 PM (IST) virtually, followed by workshops at all TiE conventions worldwide throughout 2025. These sessions will introduce practical techniques, meditation practices, and holistic well-being strategies designed to reduce stress and improve sleep quality. The initiative underscores the urgent need for professionals, especially entrepreneurs, to prioritize their sleep and mental health as part of a balanced and sustainable work-life approach.

Recent research underscores the critical impact of sleep deprivation on entrepreneurs' cognitive functions and overall business performance. Recent studies reveal that business executives experience a 5% to 10% decrease in executive function for every 45 minutes of sleep debt accrued. Additionally, findings from the Entrepreneur & Innovation Exchange indicate that inadequate sleep diminishes creativity, opportunity recognition, and social skills, further jeopardizing business performance. These insights emphasize the necessity for entrepreneurs to prioritize adequate sleep to maintain optimal health and business success.

Dr. Jayaram Thimmapuram, an academic hospitalist in internal medicine at WellSpan York Hospital and a Heartfulness practitioner, has extensively studied the effects of Heartfulness meditation on reducing stress and improving sleep. He emphasized the significance of addressing sleep-related challenges: “Stress is a widespread issue across all sections of society. Prior research on Heartfulness practices has demonstrated their effectiveness in managing stress, reducing burnout, and improving overall well-being. This survey reaffirms that stress and anxiety are significantly impacting sleep quality, and these techniques offer a proven solution to help professionals and entrepreneurs regain control of their mental and physical health.”

The findings of this survey highlight the importance of sleep awareness, especially for those in high-pressure professions. Heartfulness and TiE Global urge entrepreneurs and professionals to adopt better sleep hygiene practices, minimize digital screen exposure before bedtime, and explore meditation techniques as essential tools for improving overall well-being.

Irreversible Blindness Due To Glaucoma Increasing In India: Experts Advocate For Timely Eye Checkup

*        Data shows 90% of glaucoma cases in India remain undetected and untreated, leading to irreversible blindness each year due to lack of awareness.

Glaucoma continues to be a growing public health challenge globally, and particularly in India with over 12 million people affected in the country. The chronic eye disease progressively damages the optic nerve, often without noticeable symptoms, resulting in vision loss and can eventually cause blindness if left untreated.

As per studies, Asia is expected to witness the growing burden of glaucoma with 27.8 million additional glaucoma cases by 2040, with India and China to witness a steep rise in the prevalence.  Alarmingly, several studies state around 90% of glaucoma cases in India remain undetected and untreated, leading to irreversible blindness each year due to lack of awareness.

The asymptomatic nature of glaucoma is a major challenge for timely diagnosis. Patients often perceive their vision as normal, even as optic nerve damage progresses. The lack of perceived symptoms leads to delay in seeking medical attention at the right time. Glaucoma prevalence is higher among adults aged 40 and above, affecting 2.7% to 4.3% of the elderly population, as reports suggest. The glaucoma-related blindness in India is concerning, affecting approximately 1.2 million people, and accounting for 5.5% of all blindness cases nationwide.

Dr. Asha M S, Senior consultant and Glaucoma specialist at Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital emphasizes that patients are often unaware they have the disease until substantial damage has occurred, stating, “Patients often have no idea that they have glaucoma, until significant damage has been caused. Sometimes patients also question the necessity of tests even when their vision feels fine. Most of these cases are detected through routine eye check-ups. That is the insidious nature of glaucoma —it is a silent thief of sight. This silent progression needs immediate medical intervention. Hence, it makes awareness and early detection essential. Routine check-ups are vital for early detection and preventing irreversible sight loss.”

This underscores the importance of early detection and regular checkups through the urgent need for increased awareness and proactive screening initiatives. While intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only modifiable risk factor, early detection of increased pressure allows timely medical intervention, preventing or slowing down the progression. 

By the time one faces visual impairments, such as peripheral vision loss, the damage is often irreversible. This is particularly concerning as many people begin to experience age-related changes in their vision in their 40s -  a crucial window for glaucoma screening.

“We need to have awareness campaigns and spread the message regarding the importance of regular eye checkups, especially for people aging over 40s. Older adults living alone often face challenges in accessing healthcare due to social isolation, hindering timely glaucoma diagnosis and treatment. Hence, it is important to take proactive measures to prevent the progression and mitigate the damaging consequences of glaucoma,” Dr. Asha M S adds further highlighting the challenges faced by the elderly population in accessing healthcare services.

“There is an urgent need for widespread awareness campaigns, educating the public about the importance of regular comprehensive eye examinations, including intraocular pressure measurement, visual field testing, and optic nerve imaging. These are crucial for people aging over 40, and ones with a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, or high myopia. Medical advancements, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) with retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) analysis, enable the detection of pre-perimetric glaucoma, identifying nerve damage before visual field loss occurs,” states Dr. Asha M S .

By addressing the challenges of unawareness and inaccessibility, we can reduce the growing burden of glaucoma in future and safeguard millions of vision loss. To create awareness on Glaucoma, World Glaucoma Week is celebrated globally, and this year’s theme is ‘See the Future Clearly’, highlighting the importance of early detection, regular eye care, and community education. Routine eye check-ups are crucial for early detection. It is also important for the patients to be aware about the long-term nature of glaucoma management. Moreover, eye screenings initiatives are essential for increasing public awareness of glaucoma, its symptoms, and the significance of regular eye examinations.
