:)))))))))))))

Lately when Fajr is so early and the Isha is getting so late it is not possible me to sleep. In day time have many things to do in home and sometimes out of it so there is no chance to sleep. Plus minus am sleeping 4 hours. I'm feeling my health getting to be damaged, because at least people need sleep 8 hours. Well thats what actually now happening with me- starts many difficulties. Well but as far as you feel good to sleep less i think it is okay, but not for all the time, because person needs to have proper rest after some time. :)

Haha well I go to bed like 11 or 12 and wakes up after 5-6 hrs. Did you know that if you were to live for 60 yrs, and slept 8 hrs a day, you would be sleeping for 20 years!

Yehh I heard this on a lecture. However, if you read the Du'a before you go to sleep, your sleep has mercy in it or something =( I CAN'T REMEMBER IT!=(

SO BROTHERS AND SISTERS READ THE DU'A BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP =)

And if you sleep 6 hours a day for 60 years, you would be sleep for about 15 years. There is nothing wrong in sleeping in those extra 5 years. You are helping yourself stay more focused ;) :p

Yup exactly. If sleeping lesser would make you tired, then i think its ok to extend for a few hours. Because if you're tired then you cant be doing worhip properly.

And quality is better then quantity.

Quite some time. I have some issues with sleep that needs to be taken care of :rolleyes:


Would like to share how our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu a'laihi wa salam used to sleep.

"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to sleep sometimes on a mattress, sometimes on a leather mat, sometimes on a mat made of palm leaves, sometimes on the floor, sometimes on a bed, sometimes on the sand, and sometimes on a black cloak.

‘Abbaad ibn Tameem said, narrating from his paternal uncles: I saw the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) lying on his back in the mosque, putting one leg on top of the other. (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 475; Muslim, 2100).

His mattress was made of leather stuffed with palm fibres, and he had a coarse woollen cloth that he would fold over twice and sleep on.

The point is that he slept on a mattress and covered himself with a blanket. He said to his wives: “Jibreel never came to me whilst I was under the blanket of any one of you apart from ‘Aa’ishah.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3775).

His pillow was also leather stuffed with palm fibres.

When he went to bed to sleep, he would say: “Allaahumma bismika ahyaa wa amoot (O Allaah, in Your name I live and die).” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 7394).

He used to put his hands together and blow into them, then recite Qul Huwa Allaahu ahad, Qul a’oodhu bi Rabb il-Falaq and Qul a’oodhu bi Rabb il-Naas [i.e., the last three soorahs of the Qur’aan), then he would wipe his hands over as much of his body as he could, starting with his head and face, and the front part of his body. He would do that three times.

He used to sleep on his right side, putting his right hand under his right cheek, then he would say: “Allaahumma qini ‘adhaabaka yawma tab’ath ‘ibaadaka (O Allaah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day You resurrect Your slaves).”

And when he went to bed he used to say: “Al-hamdu Lillaah alladhi at’amanaa wa saqaanaa wa kafaanaa wa aawanaa fakam mimman laa kaafi lahu wa laa mu’wi (All praise is for Allaah, Who fed us and gave us to drink, and Who is sufficient for us and has sheltered us, for how many have none to suffice them or shelter them).” This was narrated by Muslim, who also narrated that he used to say when he went to bed:

He used to sleep during the first part of the night and get up to pray during the last part. Sometimes he would stay up late to deal with the interests of the Muslims. His eyes slept but his heart did not. When he slept, they would not wake him up; he would be the one to wake up.

When he stopped to rest at night during a journey, he would lie down on his right side, and if he stopped to rest just before dawn he would prop his head up on his forearm, resting it in his palm. This was narrated by al-Tirmidhi.

His sleep was of the best length and it was the most beneficial of sleep. The doctors say that it is one-third of the night and day, namely eight hours."

Assalamo alaykom,

Before I could sleep like 4-6 hours and I just rested an hour after I studied all day or worked all day. But the last weeks when I've been working 8 hours every day I have forced myself to go sleep 8-9 hours before I have to wake up (including the time to go up and pray fajr in between).

And inshaAllah I will keep this way of sleeping now. Specially when I don't have husband or kids yet who can disturb lol.

Is it not okej to sleep after fajr? How come when in Sweden fajr now is 2 AM?

oh mashalah i didnt know about that.
here in Jordan is around 4 a.m.

It is reported in Saheeh Muslim (1/463) in the hadeeth of Sammaak ibn Harb, who said: “I asked Jaabir ibn Samurah, ‘Did you used to sit with the Messenger of Allaah?’ He said, ‘Yes, frequently. He would not get up from the place where he had prayed Subh (Fajr) until the sun rose. When the sun rose, he would get up. They used to talk about things that had happened during the Jaahiliyyah, and they would laugh and smile.’”

Okej, but if something is sunnah doesn't mean it's bad if we don't do it right? Because I wouldn't find a sollution at all to go sleep early in the evening and be up from 2 AM til evening when working all day long.
