One should not walk around, ride, or exert himself until his food has been digested. A person who exerts himself after eating brings upon himself serious illnesses. Deios 4:4 Day and night combine to form a twenty-four hour period. One-third of this period, which is eight hours, is enough time for sleeping. This should be towards the end of the nighttime hours so that one’s eight hours of sleep end at sunrise. One should get up before sunrise.
