Unique Ramadan Traditions From Across the World

Some Muslims Do Fall Asleep During the Day

Have you ever tried to stay awake after going to bed late, waking up early, and feeling hungry? It can be hard, and even though Muslims are used to the stress that fasting for Ramadan puts on their bodies, that doesn't stop them from falling asleep in the middle of the day. Many Muslims accidentally fall asleep at work or school, which can lead to awkward conversations.

That's why some countries around the world let new Ramadan followers take a week off to get acclimated to the lack of sleep and hunger pains.
