Hi.

I had gone through your query.

Normal time for sleep in adult is 6 to 7 hours.

Sleep less than 5 hours may lead to physical and psychological problem in long term.

4 hour sleep is good enough for short period of time. But daily long term it may cause harm to body and body defenses.

Sleep is restoration function of our body and brain gets energy while we sleep.

So sleeping can cause refreshment and gives you energy for your daily schedule.

You may stay awake for 2 days but avoid it until it necessary.
Proper sleep can make you healthy and fresh.

I hope i have answered your query.

Feel free to ask.

Thank you.
