It is necessary to sleep regularly to feel good.
From Lesson 95:General necessity (lazım / gerek)·Turkish

Questions & Answers about İyi hissetmek için düzenli uyumak gerek.

Why is the plain infinitive uyumak used with gerek here, instead of a personal form like uyumam gerek?
Because this sentence expresses a general rule, not a necessity for a specific person. Using the plain infinitive (uyumak) followed by gerek or lazım means "It is necessary to sleep" for anyone. If you wanted to say "I need to sleep", you would use the personal form: uyumam gerek.
How does için work with verbs in this sentence?
When you place için (for) immediately after an infinitive verb ending in -mak or -mek (like hissetmek), it means "in order to". So, İyi hissetmek için translates to "In order to feel good".
Does düzenli mean "regular" or "regularly"?
It can be both! In Turkish, you generally do not need a special suffix (like "-ly" in English) to turn an adjective into an adverb. Because düzenli is placed right before the verb uyumak, it describes how the sleeping is done, acting as the adverb "regularly".
Why is hissetmek written as one word with a double "s"?
This is a compound verb made from the noun his (feeling) and the helper verb etmek (to do / to make). When these two words combine, the consonant "s" is doubled to make it easier to pronounce, and they are merged into a single word: hissetmek.
