The body needs sleep to rest and repair damaged cells. According to the Ministry of Health, maintaining a good sleep pattern can prevent stress, diabetes, and heart disease.
The ideal amount of sleep, according to the Ministry of Health, is as follows:
* Age 0-1 months: 14-18 hours of sleep per day.
* Age 1-18 months: 12-14 hours of sleep per day, including naps.
* Age 3-6 years: 11-13 hours of sleep per day, including naps.
* Age 6-12 years: 10 hours of sleep per day.
* Age 12-18 years: 8-9 hours of sleep per day.
* Age 18-40 years: 7-8 hours of sleep per day.
The Ministry of Health urges the public to avoid staying up late unless necessary. In addition, it is important to consistently practice Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS) in daily life.
If you experience various symptoms of illness due to lack of sleep, immediately seek examination at the nearest health facility. “So that you can immediately receive quick and appropriate treatment, according to the symptoms that appear,” as quoted from the Ministry of Health website on Monday, March 13, 2023.
