Climate and your bedroom in Algeria
Algeria stretches from a Mediterranean coast to the Sahara. Coastal cities such as Algiers and Oran have mild, wet winters and hot summers, while the south is extremely hot by day and cool at night. In hot regions, sleeping with shutters closed in the day and ventilating after dusk keeps the room cooler.
A cool, dark and quiet room helps most people. A common guide is 15 to 19 degrees Celsius, although many homes cannot reach that, so use airflow, light bedding and shade. See how temperature affects sleep.
Daily life, work and sleep in Algeria
Algeria uses UTC plus 1 all year. The working week runs Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend, so your week starts on a different day from people in Europe. Keep your weekend wake time close to your weekday time.
In Ramadan, working hours are often reduced and the night gets busier, so plan a night block and an afternoon nap.
Ramadan in Algeria
Many people in Algeria fast during Ramadan, when sleep splits into a night block after Taraweeh and a second block after Fajr, often with a short nap. Fasting hours and the length of the night change with the season, so read Ramadan sleep by season and use the season calculators for summer, winter, spring and autumn. If you live with a health condition, follow your doctor about fasting.
Keep planning

Frequently asked questions
What time zone is Algeria in?
Algeria uses UTC+1. It does not use daylight saving time.
Is jet lag worse flying east or west?
Eastward travel is usually harder because you must fall asleep earlier than your body clock wants. Westward travel asks you to stay up later, which is generally easier.
Is 6 hours of sleep enough?
For most adults it is below the recommended 7 hours. Some people feel fine for a while, but research on chronic sleep restriction found that performance slips even when people do not feel very sleepy. Treat 6 hours as a short night and plan recovery sleep.
How do I adjust to daylight saving time?
Move your schedule by 15 to 20 minutes over several days before the change and get morning light afterwards. Expect a few days of adjustment.
Will waking at the end of a cycle remove morning grogginess?
It can help some people, because waking from light sleep is usually easier than waking from deep sleep. The effect is not guaranteed. Grogginess, known as sleep inertia, usually fades within 15 to 30 minutes and also depends on how much sleep you had and when you wake in your body clock.
How do I beat jet lag?
Shift your schedule toward the new time zone for a few days before you leave if you can, choose flight sleep to match night at the destination, get daylight at the right time after landing and keep the first nights steady. Many travelers adjust about one hour of time difference per day.
How many hours do teenagers and children need?
CDC guidance lists 8 to 10 hours for ages 13 to 18, 9 to 12 hours for ages 6 to 12, 10 to 13 hours for ages 3 to 5 including naps, and 11 to 14 hours for ages 1 to 2 including naps.
How do I move my bedtime earlier?
Shift it by 15 to 30 minutes every two or three days while keeping the wake time fixed, get bright light after waking and dim lights for an hour before bed.
