Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan has introduced a significant change to his fitness regimen to stay healthier and maintain peak performance.
According to Indian media, the actor has improved his sleep routine—an essential component of physical recovery.
In a recent interview, Shah Rukh revealed that instead of his famously short 4-hour sleep, he now sleeps 5 to 6 hours a night. He said that longer sleep helps in better muscle recovery and ensures the heart never tires, allowing the body to keep functioning even when physically exhausted.
The actor added that while the body may occasionally feel fatigue, the heart remains strong—an attitude that keeps him motivated and consistently working.
Experts say that sleep is crucial for muscle repair and growth after exercise. The most effective muscle recovery occurs during deep sleep, with 7 to 9 hours of quality rest playing a vital role in maintaining overall health and fitness.
