  • Actor Imran Aqil takes over nighttime baby care to ensure his wife, Dahlia Rizal, gets adequate rest.
  • The couple's one-year-old daughter still wakes frequently at night for feeds, prompting Imran to sleep separately with the child.
  • This arrangement allows Dahlia to achieve over eight hours of quality sleep, a gesture she deeply appreciates.

Malaysian actor Imran Aqil is demonstrating exceptional care for his wife, Dahlia Rizal, by taking over nighttime duties for their one-year-old daughter, Yusra. This thoughtful gesture aims to ensure Dahlia receives sufficient rest while managing the challenges of early parenthood.

Dahlia shared that their daughter, now 13 months old, still wakes multiple times a night for feedings. Initially, she expected to handle these nighttime awakenings alone. However, Imran's willingness to sleep separately with their daughter has provided Dahlia with the opportunity for uninterrupted sleep, exceeding eight hours nightly.

She is willing to sleep with the child downstairs or anywhere. This allows me to get quality and sufficient sleep of more than eight hours.

"He is willing to sleep with the child downstairs or anywhere," Dahlia explained. "This allows me to get quality and sufficient sleep of more than eight hours." She noted that even if they shared the same room, her sensitive maternal instincts would likely wake her at any sound from the baby. Therefore, sleeping separately has become the best solution for them currently.

Imran and Dahlia married on September 9, 2023. Their daughter, Yusra, was born in May of the previous year. Dahlia expressed immense gratitude for her husband's understanding and support during this demanding phase of their lives.

My husband actually knows he can still help even if we sleep in the same room. However, I will still wake up every time the child cries or moves. Therefore, the decision to sleep separately is the best choice for us at this time. Thank you very much to my husband.
