Fasting – Exams and Jobs Nap Naptime is hardly the preserve of babies and preschoolers. Top performers are attuned to the power of this ritual. Naps help alleviate the sleepiness that we feel even outside of Ramadan, especially in the afternoons. The ideal nap is not more than 20 to 30 minutes long and is preferably taken around 2 pm or 3 pm. Try to schedule a short nap in the early to mid-afternoon. Make sure to set an alarm, or call a family member or friend who will keep calling you until you wake up. You can take a nap in your car, or in a prayer room in your school. There will very likely be other fasting students doing the same. Alternatively, you can also find a quiet corner of a cafe or the school cafeteria and simply put your head down for a quick snooze.
