Time to go to sleep

  1. According to the Zohar, for spiritual and health reasons, it's proper to sleep in the beginning of the night and in the second half of the night to learn torah . However the Talmud Bavli and Rambam hold that it's healthy to sleep in the end of the night until Amud HaShachar. [1]

Duration of sleep

  1. One shouldn't sleep more than 8 hours of sleep because it's harmful to one's health nor should one sleep less than 6 hours. [2]

Time to wake up

  1. One should wake up to pray to Hashem specifically at the end of the first third, the second third, or at the end of the night because prayer is especially accepted at those times. [3]
