<p>Does anyone have any tips to help study while fasting? Should I study after I break fast, or should I study during my fast? Any suggestions would be most helpful.</p>
<p>I suggest you do it right after breakfast.</p>
<p>aren't you going to be in synagogue all day? (assuming you're talking about yom kippur) </p>
<p>I'm fasting, too, but I don't think I'm going to study while I fast. I'll study after I break the fast. It ends at 7:13 so I'll probably get home at 8. I'll study till 12 or so.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you're talking about ramadan (right?).</p>
<p>Uhh... nothing you can really do except try to stay focused.</p>
<p>I nap, break the fast, study all night. That's my usual schedule either way though.</p>
<p>if ur talkin about ramadan, which is a holiday for me too, then i recomend that u eat early, before the time, sleep then wake up around 9-11 A.M and for some reason i feel more awake in the morning 2 study and right before i sleep.. so study around 11 A.M and then again at around 9-10ish before u sleep.. u could also study before that but i know how u feel, its hard 2 study while ur hungry</p>
<p>i study right after suhr (sehri?)...and after iftar.</p>
<p>Do things that come easily to you during your fast.</p>
<p>ramadan doesn't seem to interrupt my ability to study very much (probably because i'm usually a really busy person anyway and am used to skipping lunch). just do what you normally do and you'll get used to it after a few days.</p>
<p>Assuming you're observing Yom Kippur - The second the sun falls Monday, hit the books.</p>
<p>I can absolutely not study while fasting. I don't feel hungry but usually dizzy or fatigued. Obviously these symptoms are from not eating. Right after I break my fast I hit the books but it's going to get harder and harder to finish my work early because maghrib is starting later and later.</p>
<p>Technologic: You're cool.</p>
<p>fasting doesn't really affect my studying either...it's weird...my parents thought it would be a good idea for me to quit cross country for a while..which is the only thing that's different with my schedule now that Ramadan's here...otherwise, everything's cool :)</p>
<p>happy ramadan, guys!</p>
<p>yes ramadan mubarak to y'all!</p>
<p>And an early Eid mubarak from me to ya'll.</p>
<p>grr...can't wait until Eid :)</p>
<p>Tangy, where do you live for maghrib to be getting later and later? It's getting earlier and earlier here in michigan...</p>
<p>I'm not really bothered by fasting, but I'll get distracted because I'll think, 'oh, I'd be able to study so much better if I could just chew on some gum/have some caramel apple/drink coffee/etc" and then as soon as I eat, I'll be like "okay study time... oh, wait, I wanna go eat some ice cream first... ahhh gotta have that caramel apple i've been thinking about all day... maybe if i get a glass of water i'll be able to study... oh, nope, prison break's on now." </p>
<p>Basically, it's hard for me to study under any conditions. I haven't been much help, so ramadan mubarak :)</p>
<p>lol I live in Michigan too but what I mean is, Ramadan is moving up each year closer and closer to the summer. That means that Maghrib is getting later and later each YEAR. So once Ramadan is in July we're not going to break fast till 9 or so.</p>
<p>Ahh, okay, I thought you meant day to day, and I'm like what?! It's not getting longer... </p>
<p>I think my problem is that I just procrastinate in general, for example, right now I am supposed to be doing my German homework, but, let's see, uh, I'm not.</p>
<p>So where in Michigan do you live? I'm gonna go with the stereotypical guess and ask, Dearborn?</p>
<p>fasting doesn't affect my studying much. I can go on for a few hours before I get a headache or something...if that happens I just wait til Maghrib and then go strait to my desk.
TangyTart, how does it get later and later? Over here it's one minutes earlier than the day before...so by the end of the month; it'll be at 5:30 instead of six PM.</p>
<p>Yeah thats what I asked, but s/he meant earlier each year, not each day (as in next year it'll be ten days earlier, etc)</p>
