whenever I wake up early in the morning, I pray tahajjud, and eat suhoor, then fast....because whenever I try to do extra fasting on days outside of Ramadan, waking up is always an issue....because my medications make me sleepy, and I never get up even for fajr unless someone wakes me up, but even my mother does not get up for fajr......earlier this week, I fasted, and today I am fasting as well.....I should consider myself lucky, because fasting on Thursdays is Sunnah, so alhmadulillah I woke up early on a Thursday.....
