How much core sleep should you get?

I'm trying to improve my sleep quality because I'm always tired. My smartwatch tracks something called 'core sleep'. What's the ideal amount of core sleep I should be aiming for each night?

Haan na, sleep cycle track karna aajkal tension ban gaya hai. Honestly, 1.5 to 2 hours of deep sleep is perfect for the body to repair itself. Don't worry too much about the app numbers, ho na.

Honestly, if I have a heavy biryani late at night, my deep core sleep drops to zero! Try keeping your dinner light and get about 1.5 hours of deep sleep so you don't wake up feeling bloated and tired.

Drinking warm chamomile tea or turmeric milk before bed can naturally help you get better deep sleep. But if you suffer from severe snoring, gasping for breath, or chronic insomnia, please consult a doctor.

Wait, you guys are actually getting core sleep? Here I am, surviving on 4 hours of total broken sleep and cold coffee. But joke aside, experts say we need around 2 hours of deep sleep to function normally.

My thyroid issues used to completely ruin my deep sleep cycles, leaving me exhausted. If you're struggling to get good core sleep, please get your thyroid and vitamin levels checked regularly.

Even if trackers show you are getting enough core sleep, constant fatigue can point to underlying issues like sleep apnea. It is always safest to consult a specialist for a proper sleep study.
