Ordinary 6 to 8 hours sleep is sufficient for any person. But just as it is difficult to say how much one should eat, similarly , it is not possible to say exactly how long a person should sleep.
A new born baby sleeps much longer than a grown up person, because for his growth, his vital force must work peacefully.
Generally, a small child sleeps 15-16 hours. Those who are old, sick, weak or women who has delivered need more sleep than men. Pregnant women should also sleep more.
Scientist and doctors have, after various experiments, advises following duration of sleep for different age groups :-
Age Hours of Sleep
1 to 6 weeks 22
1 to 2 Years 18
2 to 3 Years 15 - 17
3 to 4 Years 14 - 16
4 to 6 Years 13 - 15
6 to 9 Years 10 - 12
9 to 13 Years 9 - 10
13 to 15 Years 8 - 10
Above 15 Years 7 - 8
To sleep more than necessary is to invite illness. It is also harmful to leave bed without completing sleep. One should pay greater attention to have deep sleep.
Four hours of deep sleep is more beneficial than 8 hours of disturbed sleep.
