Many residents in the UAE stressed that maintaining these regular bedtime routines can be difficult as professional lives can often be quite demanding

Revealing secrets is a crime in the UAE — and one that comes with a hefty fine of at least Dh150,000.
The Abu Dhabi Judicial Authority on Tuesday explained some key details of the country's anti-rumours and cybercrime law (specifically, Article 44 of Federal Decree Law No. 34 of 2021), which seeks to protect people's privacy.
With smart technologies now accessible to all, the UAE law makes sure that residents' personal space and boundaries are respected at all times.
One cannot record or share conversations or take and store pictures of others — especially without their consent, the ADJD reminds residents in its awareness drive.
The UAE applies zero tolerance on such offences that breach someone's privacy. A number of other actions fall under these violations, which can get an offender dined at least Dh150,000 to Dh500,000 and/or jailed for at least six months. These include:
Penalties shall be raised to at least one year in jail and/or fines of Dh250,000 to Dh500,000 if a voice note, photo or a scene is altered to defame or offend another person, the ADJD said.
