Similar to cooking or baking, people are often advised to get the proper amount of sleep which is usually 8 hours. Going less than this will have adverse effects on health and the whole system of an individual such as poor production at work or gearing towards becoming sick due to lack of rest.
On the other hand, going above the usual 8 hour sleep can drive a person to become lazy and groggy, making them walking a thin line of health and keeping up with their profession. We all know that some people make the most of their time and sleep is something that they have to sacrifice. But for the recommended hours of sleep, it only remains that there is a reason for it.
There should be not more or less sleep for people. The task may indeed look hard for the normal Tao. But being productive goes way beyond sleeping and people know at the back of their minds, how much the proper sleep should be for them today.
