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.
