A Question About Prayer Timings During Summer in Northern Europe

Salam everyone. I just moved from southern Canada to the Netherlands, and I've noticed Isha is really late here (around 11:30 PM now) and Fajr is super early (like 3:25 AM). I checked my prayer app and saw that by June, Isha will even be after midnight (at 12:05 AM) with Fajr at 3 AM. SubhanAllah, it's quite a change! I'm wondering how others manage this. For me, I've been getting ready for bed and then waiting up for Isha, praying, and then going to sleep. It's definitely affecting my sleep both how much I get and how restful it is but of course, I'll keep up with my prayers. I'm thinking about sleeping after Maghrib and then waking up twice at night, but I'm worried I might miss one since I sleep really deeply and get disoriented easily. Any tips or suggestions from your experiences would be really appreciated. JazakAllah khair!

Same in Sweden. I follow the timetable for Mecca during these months. A local scholar advised it. Maybe ask at your masjid?

Been there. It's hard but your effort is seen. Try going to bed right after Isha, no phone. Makes waking up a bit less painful.

Welcome to the north, brother. My tip: nap after work if you can. Makes the late nights easier.
