Sleep is so unique a process. Even with all these researches, no scientists can today accurately tell why living things sleep or what induces sleep. Ayurveda puts great emphasis on sleep and gives you the guidelines of healthy sleeping habits.
The quality and quantity of sleep are equally important. Your selection of hours for sleep is also equally important.
How Much Sleep Do You Need
A healthy adult person requires 6-7 hours of sleep. Having a consistent sleeping pattern is also important. Children, old age people, and people suffering from diseases can sleep longer than seven hours.
When to Sleep
Sleeping under the moon is good for health while sleeping under the sun is detrimental. That is, sleep during night only.
