Determining your optimal sleep duration can vary based on several factors, including your age, lifestyle, and stress levels. Generally, adults need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. To find your ideal amount, keep a sleep diary for a few weeks, noting how you feel after different durations. Pay attention to your energy levels and mood throughout the day. Consistency is key, so aim to establish a regular sleep schedule and create a calming bedtime ritual to enhance your sleep quality.

Try the different amounts of sleep yourself, and see how you feel. If you still feel tired after 8 hours of sleep, it could be that your quality of sleep isn’t as good as you want it to be. One thing which helps with this, is balanced nutrition. Sincerely and respectfully, Selmaan A Ali
