Average amount a person should sleep

· 12 Jumada II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I sleep less but my health gets disturbed. Is there any dua I can keep my routine of sleeping less but performing actively.

Answer

You should not deprive your body of its rights. The average amount of sleep an adult requires is between 6 to 8 hours.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
