Indian Railways Sleeping Timing: If you also travel by train for long distance, then this news is useful for you. Keeping in mind the convenience of the passengers, the railways changes the rules from time to time. Indian Railways changed sleeping rules in AC and sleeper coaches from immediate effect.

Recently, the railways have changed the sleeping time of passengers in the train. According to the new rule, the sleeping time of passengers in the train has reduced compared to earlier. Earlier passengers could sleep for 9 hours during their journey. But now this time has been reduced to 8 hours. According to the new rule, now you will be able to sleep from 10 pm to 6 am. Earlier this time was from 9 pm to 6 am.

This rule has been implemented in those trains which have sleeping arrangements. This change was made by the railways so that passengers traveling long distances can travel comfortably. The time between 10 am and 6 am is considered good for sleep.

Before the implementation of this rule, passengers used to complain that passengers sitting on middle berths fall asleep early in the night and keep sleeping till late in the morning. This creates problems in sitting on the lower seat. Many times, there are disputes among passengers regarding this.
