When there was no electricity, people did not often sit with a candle until midnight. They went to bed at sunset. Their brains had enough rest for 6 hours that they woke up in the middle of the night, about 2:00-3:00. And then lived the 2 most calm and meditative hours in the day. After that, they often fell asleep before dawn. The most active remained on their feet until the next sunset.

Both scholars and theologians agree that the interval between 3:00 and 4:00 is the best time for spiritual practice (prayers, meditation, mantra reading), or simply purifying thoughts.

During sleep, the mental energy of a person is restored. Mostly from 21:00 to 4:00. Night work is considered an extremely unfavorable type of occupation, and rest is a natural protection of the mental function of the body.

If you take into account that you need to get up before 6:00, and the amount of sleep necessary for most is 6-7 hours, then the optimal time for laying can be considered 22:00.





If a person goes to bed after midnight for a long period of life, he accumulates mental fatigue. The result of late styling are bad habits: smoking, coffeemania, as well as health problems.

If a person does not sleep from 23:00 to 1:00, his vital energy is reduced. Someone who does not sleep from 1:00 to 3:00 suffers emotional strength.
