Sleep Disorder Treatment, Therapy & Counselling in India

One in four Indians has insomnia. Nearly four in ten have obstructive sleep apnea. Restless legs syndrome affects roughly one in ten. These numbers come from a 2023 meta-analysis of 100 Indian studies — and they sit alongside another number that puts everything in context: only 0.3% of people with sleep disorders in India actually seek treatment.

That gap isn’t laziness or indifference. It’s that most people with sleep problems have never been told there’s a clinical treatment more effective than pills and better than generic sleep hygiene advice. CBT-I — Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia — consistently outperforms sleeping medication in controlled trials, produces results that last after treatment ends, and carries zero dependence risk. Most people have never heard of it.

Getting to that treatment means getting to the right professional. Platforms like Anvaya Healthcare connect people across India to psychiatrists and psychologists — and, where physiological assessment is needed, to sleep specialists — without the barriers of geography or long waiting times.
