The High Road  

During the month of Ramadan I'm starting to notice a lot about how life works.  Especially all the ways my body lets me know I need to drink water or not eat so much or to get some rest.  Of course when you're a parent, spouse, employee, entrepreneur who's got time for stuff like that. 

I know that I need to get up at 4:30am at least to get started.  But I rarely ever get to bed before 12:30am.  So what do I do to make sure that I fall asleep as quickly as possible and when I do sleep its Rejuvenating, Restorative and Regenerative?

I recite this:

In the name of Allåh, the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
1 Say: He, Allåh, is One.
2 Allåh is He on Whom all depend.
3 He begets not, nor is He begotten;
4 And none is like Him.

In the name of Allåh, the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
1 Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of
the dawn,a
2 From the evil of that which He
has created,
3 And from the evil of intense
darkness,a when it comes,
4 And from the evil of those who cast
(evil suggestions) in firm resolutions,a
5 And from the evil of the envier
when he envies.

In the name of Allåh, the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
1 Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of
men,
2 The King of men,
3 The God of men,
4 From the evil of the whisperings of
the slinking (devil),
5 Who whispers into the hearts of
men,
6 From among the jinn and the men.

Then I say a prayer where I specifically ask to fall into a deep Rejuvenating, Restorative Regenerative sleep and wake up at (specific Time) so I can do what I have to do.

Then I set my alarm clock lay my head on my pillow & gradually let all the thought processes just fade away. 

Works Like A Charm.  Thanks & Praise to the most High One.
