The need to sleep in term of hours is relative and varies
according to the body's nature, working during day /night or the nature of habits and behaviors associatedwith this holy month. In general, the average sleepinghour for young and adult people ranges from 8-7 hours aday. It is necessary to maintain this average.During the month of Ramadan:

waking up schedules.
2. Pre-sleep behavioral routines: about 45 minutesbefore going to sleep, exercise relaxation and stopwatching TV or use of electronic devices, stay in acomfortable place, or take a warm bath or sit formeditation or prayer.

Take Ramadan as an opportunity to enjoy physicalactivity, (e.g at least mall walking if not structuredactivity) to keep active throughout the year.
For sick persons, you must consult your physicianbefore any physical activity. When engaged in theactivity, if possible use a pedometer to count your
passes and try to reach the goal of 10,000 steps a dayas set by the step into health Aspire program.
Stop any physical activity immediately if everfeeling dizzy or nauseous. For daylight activity,one should only break their fast if they really feelextremely weak and fatigued. In this case you shouldconsult your Physician.
