A child needs no complex explanations on the value and necessity of sleep— they just sleep, that’s all. However, we adults have developed bad habits when it comes to sleep and waking up. We waste time on social activities that should be used for sleep, and we sleep during the hours when our bodies could absorb vitality and strength. We waste time at both ends of the sleep cycle and then wonder why we grow old and tired at middle age.During sleep, the body undergoes repair work that is critical to our overall health. It is essential to give our bodies plenty of time to do that. Generally speaking, adults need about 8 hours of sleep each day. The best sleep is that taken between the hours of sunset and midnight, and the best time for outdoor activities and the absorbing of vitality are the first few hours after sunrise.  Thank you for listening to the Daily Yogi podcast!
