lol sleeping to midday is an issue... hmm.. dunno try get into routine of pretending as if it's a normal school day... i.e. if you're use to sleeping for only 1 hour after fajr... then stick to that.. or try not sleep after fajr at all...

alternativly try sleeping early...

butt.. if ur addicted to stayin up.... perhaps you might hav time 4 urself so its good to use it to do qiyam or make an aim that you won't sleep till you memorise or revise a certain amount of verses every night.

also... one thing about fajr... when you wake up you're really out of it, but if you can resist to stay up for an extra half n hour... you're sleepiness will go away... and it's prime time for studying/revising things and learning inshalah.

dunno.. hope that helps.

ws

ps: its hard to not sleep after fajr if u sleep after midnight... midnite should be latest u sleep... otherwise its reeeeally hard stayin up after fajr.. n even harder to wake up if u wanan do qiyam or things like that.

talking of wasting time on net.... maybe mods can disable LI for a certain number of hours every day... i'm hooked on this thing coz comp always nxt 2me so i'm always on while im doin my other things

disabling my account didnt help :enough!:

Trust me you're not alone and if that makes you feel better, good.

It's pretty obvious that you're not as disciplined as you want to and if that's the case, that's the first step that you need to make, and trust me (again), even if you were given a million advices, you won't pull through until you, yourself pull the plug on this wastefulness.

Time is a commodity. In the business world, time is money. You waste time, you don't get the revenues that you want, hence you either end up in debt or you just go bankrupt.

Well, Allah has proposed a transaction. Read here:

10 O You who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment.
11 That you believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know!

As Saff.

May I suggest that you keep a daily journal? Since you go on the computer a lot, just use a calendar program or anything similar to help you track your activities.

Here are some things that you may want to consider so that you can prevent idling about.

(1) Memorize some Quran. 5 verses per day will get you through a lot.
(2) Pick up a book and read.
(3) Write
(4) Volunteer at a local Islamic Center or charity

I hope this helps.
