Hello there. I can understand your concern. Everyone's requirement is different but I always recommend my patients that thy get atleast 7-8 hours of sound sleep everyday. Also I always suggest they go early to bed and rise early for a healthy life. I would suggest the same thing to you too. Sleep early and rise early. Also one more important thing is that there must be atleast 2-3 hours of gap between your meal and sleep. Sleeping immediately after meals is not recommended. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
