HOW MANY HOURS OF SLEEP DO YOU USUALLY GET EACH NIGHT, AND DO YOU THINK IT’S ENOUGH?

Sometimes, i use up to 7 hours to sleep at night, starting from 12am to 7am, and i believe it's enough for me to spend 7 hours for night sleep. As adults, you can choose to sleep for up to 9 hours, but for children, it's not advisable to use just 7 hours for night sleep because children need more sleeping hours, mostly at night. School-age children or teenagers need 9 to 11 hours for their night sleep.

DO YOU FOLLOW ANY SLEEP ROUTINE (LIKE READING, MEDITATION, AVOIDING SCREENS)?.

Well, I have my sleep routine, which is meditation, and it's not always the time I meditate. Sometimes, when I'm overstressed, i don't need any sleeping routine for me to sleep. I only fall asleep easily when I'm stressed, but if i am finding it difficult to sleep, i can meditate, and it helps me to sleep too.

WHAT DISTURBS YOUR SLEEP THE MOST? (NOISE, STRESS, MOBILE, LATE-NIGHT EATING, etc.)

Noise, like i hate noise in my life, talk more of when I'm sleeping i can't sleep whenever there's noise it makes me uncomfortable and unhappy at the same time. To me, noise is harmful to the ear, and it cause extra stress whenever I'm sleeping.
