Having a good night's sleep is extremely important for one's health, and if there is a disruption in one's sleep routine, one may suffer from headaches, fatigue, and restlessness. During Ramadan, due to changes in daily schedules, there is significant sleep disruption, especially for some people who cannot sleep after breaking their fast and prefer staying awake until suhoor.

According to Kate Bridle, a technologist at the London Sleep Center in Dubai, sudden changes during sleeping hours can also affect your work during the day.

According to them, the human body needs to have good food, drink, and sleep because, as they say, a lack of these three things can cause fatigue, lethargy, and irritability in our bodies.

According to the doctor, lack of sleep not only affects the body but also impacts the hormones. If you don't get enough sleep, you will experience an increase in hunger, which can cause anxiety during fasting.

During Ramadan, one can try out these recommendations for better sleep:

How many hours of sleep should one take during Ramadan?


If you go to the office early in the morning, make it a habit to get at least 4 hours of sleep after Taraweeh prayers until Sehri time. After Sehri and prayer, sleep for at least 2 hours, and the duration of your night's sleep should be at least 6 hours.

On the other hand, domestic women should try to sleep for at least 5 hours after sehri and 4 hours after iftar to ensure they get a minimum of 9 hours of sleep. This will help them to maximize the duration of their sleep.

Household women prioritize food and drink, and similarly, sleep should also be given importance.

According to a report by BBC, Dr. Rang has stated that we have evidence that people who sleep well tend to consume less food during the day. Hence, having a good night's sleep can also help control your appetite during fasting.

Attempt to sleep at the same time.


Most individuals remain irritable due to a lack of sleep, while some manage to fulfill their sleep requirements through naps, disrupting our biological system.

Make an effort to maintain a consistent sleep pattern. Avoid sleeping immediately after having breakfast; instead, develop a habit of sleeping from 10 PM to 3 AM.

Make sure to keep food in mind.


The relationship between sleep and food is extremely important. It is advisable to avoid using sugary or fatty foods during breakfast because it requires the body to work harder to digest them, which can negatively impact sleep.

Avoid consuming tea or coffee a few hours before bedtime to ensure peaceful sleep.
