I know brooo, I need 12 hours!!! is it true you age if you don't sleep as much as you should? sleep sometimes feels like a nice escape where you can just forget about the world and all your problems.

You know something interesting hit me, how many hours do you think the Sahabba survived on?? I mean if they were waking up every night to pray tahajjud and Isha was late then they can't have had much sleep. There's a good lecture on this by Muhammed Al Shareef callied "in the middle of the night" I think.
 
Salaam/Peace

those who sleep only for 4/5 hours at night , pl. try to take rest at least for 20 minutes at noon / after noon.

I read that if u sleep less , u will start feeling frustrated / angry . I Also read, as our Prophet pbuh offered extra salat at night and did not sleep all night , he took a short nap at noon.
 
If I take a noon nap aside from the impossibility of that if I am still at work, is that it will screw me out of night time sleep.. When I hit the pillow at night I am so incredibly drowsy I can sleep with laptop on the bed, phone in my ears etc. because I am so tired by then and incoherent ..

Have to wait for isha'a insha'Allah which is in 8 mins..
have to tell you I am really not looking forward to tomorrow.. every day I hate my life more than the day before if that is at all possible.. al7mdlillah I don't want to seem ungrateful for Allah swt's blessings.. so strange how life to me is about survival .. I find no joy in it whatsoever =(

maybe your du3a can take me to better places..

I read earlier in an islamic book, think it was an hadith one but ain`t sure,that the body should only get 5 hours sleep.Any more than that and it`s bad for your health.So i`m just wandering how much sleep do people get on here?

As long as you can think straight, if you can perform your daily tasks, you will be fine I guess. But regardless, it's terrible to be chronically sleep-deprived.

Never heard of it either but I personally only get 4~5 hours except on the weekend unless on call there too, and can tell you that I am two steps from death every day I feel so bloody tired and unwell.. not sure the body is meant for this type of lifestyle.....

I'm amazed that you can still continue doing your job, masha'Allah. Lately, I 've been thinking about what the perfect working hours would be, from an Islamic point of view.

This makes me so sad, this can't be the way life was meant to be, I just can't accept it. Yes, we will have to face many trials as Muslims and human beings, but I don't believe that life has to be like this. Oh well, at least you are able to continue unlike me.

what do you mean you can't continue? yes there is more to life, but life isn't all that we have to look forward to, it isn't all we are working toward-- our trials here are a part of keeping our faith.. we must temper all of our hardships with the knowledge that life is temporary and that all we do, our life, our love, our work, our family belong to Allah swt.. Br. Alpha told me this once in more beautiful words on a day when I thought I'd die of suffocation.. sometimes we just have to go through the motion and trust that Allah swt will make it better and won't make us loose our hard work whether in this life or the hereafter..

You sound like you are in LOVE, common pick yourself up, what's the worst that can happen, you die right. Well we all gonna day some day, we're all waiting patiently in the que, so wait your turn, don't try to jump the que, that's gonna really piss me off :raging:.

All a man has gotta do is wait his turn. Patience, patience, patience.....

Argamemnon, you must go on! What other option is there??
Do you have trouble with sleeping too?

Don't worry glo, I didn't mean that I'm going to take my life (although I have thought about it a lot in the past). I mean having a fulfilling life, a job I can hold down etc. I'm struggling with these because of chronic depression and sleeping problems (I realize I must have said this a million times, I hope I'm not annoying anyone!). Yes, not being able to sleep enough is probably my biggest problem.. because it increases anxiety and prevents me from being able to concentrate and perform even the simplest tasks...

Today I almost had a serious car accident while bringing my computer to the shop.. I miraculously escaped, actually twice!! Maybe I should stop driving to places I don't know well. Because this is not my first lucky escape, it happens regularly.. such incidents can easily destroy my (already shattered) self-esteem. I can't even drive a car? I'm a danger on the roads.

Do you have sleeping problems too, glo?
