:salam2:
This is my first ramadan and it's a pretty tough one since I happen to have traveled right at the start. So now I'm still very jet lagged. I sleep around 11-12 at night and usually only got 2 hrs sleep. It's hard to sleep after that so I usually remain awake until I eat sahoor at 4 am. Then I still have to wait until 5.30 to pray, and after that I sleep. I've been waking up around 1 pm for a few days now!!
So my plan is to wake up at around 10 am, fight through the drowsiness, get myself busy during the day so I can sleep better at night. School starts next week so I still got time.
The ramadan itself has been pretty good..it does get tough when it gets to 1 hour before break time. The clock just wont move
And 30 days is quite a loooong time to fast! But alhamdulillah I start to feel some difference spiritually. Things like..I'm all by myself and there's nobody that can stop me from eating or drinking during the day, yet we all have no choice but to wait until Allah allows us to eat if we want to get full reward and satisfaction. Well, thinking that some people are willing to go for 30 days without food and drink during the day itself is pretty...extraordinary. It looks like it doesnt make sense, until one actually does it.
