I totally get it, constantly worrying if you're getting enough deep sleep can actually keep you awake! Usually, around 1 to 1.5 hours per night is good. Just try to relax and don't obsess over the numbers.

They say about 1.5 hours of deep sleep is good per night. I started reading a physical book instead of scrolling on my phone before sleeping, and it really helped improve my sleep quality.

I recently recovered from severe insomnia and learned that 1 to 1.5 hours of deep sleep is standard. Establishing a strict bedtime routine really helped my brain signal that it was time for deep rest.

My tracker shows I only get 35 minutes of deep sleep per night, even though I sleep for 8 hours. Is this normal or should I be worried? Has anyone else experienced this?

Getting around 1.5 hours of deep sleep per night is good for muscle recovery and hormone health. Regular workouts during the day and keeping your dinner light can naturally help you reach that target.
