So in order to save battery I put my apps to sleep. But I do use WhatsApp. insta and YouTube regularly. I have put those to sleep too, do I have to remove them from sleeping apps in order to get better battery life?

Answer is No. Because sleeping apps wake up when you use them, and may run some background activities. The advice is to put irrelevant apps to "deep sleeping". ( Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Background usage limits > Deep sleeping apps.) Deep sleeping apps NEVER run in background. You can also toggle ON "put unused apps to sleep". And for frequently using apps, Do Nothing. Device will take care about it.
Anyway while not in use, you can simply "close all apps" from the Recents screen to save some power.
You can also add a ram cleaning widget in the homescreen. (Press and hold any empty screen in home screen > add device care widget).
Using dark mode also helps you save power a great deal. Thank you.

Leave barely used apps to sleep mode (your device will also automatically add apps to sleep mode that are used less) while your frequent apps to "never sleeping apps".
