Energy Check: By 5PM in Ramzan, Are You Functional or Exhausted?
Let’s do a real check-in. By 5PM in Ramzan… Are you: Clear-headed and stable? Slightly tired but okay? Irritated and foggy? Counting minutes till iftar? Completely exhausted and non-functional? Be honest. Because how you feel at 5PM tells you a lot about what’s happening behind the scenes. Why 5PM Is Important By late afternoon: Blood sugar is low Hydration is low Cortisol (stress hormone) is fluctuating Mental fatigue is high If your routine isn’t structured, this is when: Mood drops Productivity crashes Cravings intensify Patience disappears And many people assume: “This is just part of fasting.” Not always. Sometimes it’s: Poor sleep Heavy iftar from the night before Late-night snacking No sehri planning Dehydration patterns Ramzan doesn’t have to feel like daily survival mode. Feeling slightly low is normal. Feeling completely drained every single day isn’t. Ask Yourself Did I sleep properly? Did I overeat last night? Did I hydrate enough? Did I have protein at sehri? Am I managing stress? Energy is not random. It’s built by decisions made the night before. 💬 So tell me honestly: By 5PM in Ramzan, are you functional… or exhausted? Let’s normalize honest conversations.
