We had’nt thought of it this way earlier.
Definitely worth ponering and implementing.
Wish I had seen it earlier.

May Allah give you the best in both worlds.

wa alaikum assalaam Latif,

InshaAllah you have great success in making the sleep schedule into a habit.

I totally agree with setting goals that are challenging, I’ve gota do more of that myself.

Jazakallahukhair

Excellent tips br Nahyan. Based on your advice, I tried the interval training approach for sleeping this Ramadan and I found it to be very beneficial in allowing me to sleep less and get more things done during the week. Now I am hoping to incorporate this habit during the rest of the year inshaAllah.

Another thing that I found very beneficial was to set weekly and daily Ibadah goals this Ramadan and take a few minutes to evaluate yourself on a daily basis. When doing this, I would like to recommend that you set goals that will challenge you. You will be surprised how much you can accomplish when you have specific goals that you are working towards on a daily basis.

I liked the points about seeing how we are spending the free time that opened up. Something awesome to reflect on..

I consistently do get up with Fajr, go to work,and get to bed late because getting up early in the am is the only way I can add in the things that make a difference to me in my life.

Ramadan gets challenging because I get more things to do in the same time period, but it does make you focus on how you are spending your time. Even with time crunch it lets you reflect — you can spend a couple of hours with iftar at your friend’s house or you can have a simple meal, dash to do something productive and get to Taraweeh on time. While I usually spend my mornings on Qur’aan with a review in the evening only as I drive. When I get home I devote time to more dunya goals and matters, and having Taraweeh brings it back into focus as to how we should begin and end our days with Allah. It makes me think that if I can add time in the morning, can’t I add some time in the evening during the year too? It’s not that I actually scrunched up my time or activities, but that I have been put in a position to make choices about which are my priorities and cut out or cut down on some of the other activities which may not be bad thing or time wasters, but may be less as important as ibadah.

Wa alaikum assalaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraqatheh bro,

Jazakallahukhair for the feedback and sleep suggestion.

I’ve gotten the proof reading comment once before
So it’d be great if you can point out which area(s) I should check more closely. It’s sometimes hard to edit own work.
