Before going to sleep, remind yourself why you should get up for Fajr: it is to please Allah (SWT). If we cannot even sacrifice a few minutes of sleep to stand in front of Him,
how can we expect Him to grant us ‘sabr’ and strength in our worldly trials and the Hereafter? How can we expect Him to be there for us when we cannot even give up a few minutes of worldly slumber?
2) Make sincere Dua
Before you doze off, make sincere dua and ask for Allah’s (SWT) help in waking you up in time for Fajr. If you call upon Him, He does not let you down. You would be surprised as to how much more effective a sincere dua can be than a mere alarm clock.

5) Avoid fried foods, excessive dairy and caffeinated drinks, which add the struggle of waking up.
6) Sleep whilst being in a state of wudhu (ablution ). Not only will you feel refreshed before bed, it will mentally and spiritually prepare you for waking up for fajr. Don’t forget to make that intention.
