How much deep sleep do you need per night?
My work schedule is quite demanding, and I often feel groggy even after a full night's rest. Is there a specific amount of deep sleep I should be aiming for each night to feel truly refreshed?

I can only share what worked for me, but my smartwatch usually shows around 1 to 1.5 hours of deep sleep. I noticed my deep sleep improved when I stopped drinking tea in the evenings.

You need about 1.5 hours of deep sleep per night. If you're struggling to hit this, avoid afternoon naps and keep your bedroom cool. These two simple changes dramatically improved my deep sleep stats.

For diabetics like me, getting 1.5 hours of deep sleep is very important as it helps manage insulin levels. Be careful with what you eat at night and consult your doctor to see how sleep affects your sugar readings.
