Olajuwon was noted as sometimes playing better during the month, and in 1995 he was named NBA Player of the Month in February, even though Ramadan began on February 1 of that year.

Right now, I feel the same way as you did about eating in the morning. As of this moment, Suhoor (the Arabic term for breakfasting for a fast) is going to end soon and I don’t feel like eating at all. I know I’m going to regret this a bit later, but for now, I’m content with not eating too much. Although I do wish I didn’t eat so much earlier, so I could have prepared better for the fast ahead. Thanks for sharing that tip with us.

I’m really glad that you tried to include a few naps in your day! I’m sure you’ve seen the miracles it can do for you. As for grogginess/grumpiness after a nap, I find that washing my face and going for a short walk outside/wherever you can walk really helps liven me up. As Muslims, we normally take breaks for prayers, and since that includes moving around a bit and washing up, I find that it does bring your brain back up to speed.

I am impressed to see that you’ve been able to go through the last few days without many bumps on the road, and that you’ve learned so much about fasting in such a short span of time. I hope your last day goes well for you, and I’m looking forward to your next post.
