Seeking Advice on Getting Enough Rest and Waking Up for Fajr

Salaam everyone. I'm trying to go to bed by 10 PM to wake up for Fajr, but that only gets me about 6 hours of sleep. Honestly, I feel like I really need a full 8 hours to function well. I've tried napping during the day, but it just makes it harder for me to fall asleep at night. My main struggles are: * After praying Fajr, I feel really awake and can't get back to sleep. * If I get less than 8 hours, I get super drowsy later on. But if I take a nap to cope, then I struggle to sleep at night again. Has anyone else figured out a good routine to balance proper sleep with our Fajr prayer? Any tips would be so appreciated, insha'Allah.

Try adjusting your diet. Eating heavy or late dinners messed up my sleep schedule. A lighter meal helped me fall asleep faster at 10.

It's a constant battle, isn't it? Some days are just better than others. Make lots of dua for ease.

Man, I feel this so much. Struggled with the exact same thing. Try going to bed an hour earlier, like 9pm. It's tough but it worked for me.

Same here. Getting only 6 hours is brutal. Maybe try a 20-minute power nap right after Dhuhr? Shorter naps don't ruin my night.

Skip the naps, brother. Power through the afternoon slump with a quick walk and coffee. Your night sleep will improve.

Honestly, your body might adapt. I used to need 8 hours, but after a few weeks of the fajr schedule, 6-7 feels fine now. Give it time.

Totally relatable. I found that doing some light reading after Fajr helps me fall back asleep. Maybe it's just mental, but it works!
