The significance of midnight wake cannot be overemphasized, for it is one among salient factors which aid prosperity in life. However, midnight wake serves various purposes depending on what individuals decide to use it for.
Academically, it serves as a medium of reading to students, by its virtue, they make research, compose, do assignments among other tasks. At times, midnight wake might be for spiritual purpose, as in case of Muslims who wake up for Tahajud, a practice commended by Allah as He declares in Quran chapter 17 verse 79 (translation of text) "And pray in the small watches of the morning, it would be an additional prayer for thee that thy lord will raise thee to a station of praise and glory"
Midnight wake also serve many other beneficial purposes. Thus, good things are not easily achieved says a famous quote. In this sense, midnight wake is not so easy to achieve, and finding solution to this arose the interest of the writer to put pen to paper on tips which shall help perfect midnight wake. I chose to stop boring you, below are the decisive tips;
TIP ONE: EARLY TO BED
The saying "early to bed early to rise" has never be a calumny" this is the most vital tip in perfecting midnight wake. Sleeping early will seriously help in achieving midnight wake. Thus, to achieve a perfect midnight wake, one cant jettison this.
TIP TWO: HAVING A MID-DAY SLEEP
Having rest or light sleep during the day at least, will enhance a midnight wake, Islamically it is tagged "Qoylullah". However, no fixed minutes or hours is stipulated for this, but at least, this shouldnt be jettisoned. In fact, according to World health organization (W.H.O) the least hours expected of an individual to sleep daily is eight hours. So, sleeping in the mid day will fill the void of the hours cheated during midnight wake.
TIP THREE: PREPONING ALARM FOR SOME MINS.
Prepone according to oxford dictionaries. com means "to bring (something) forward to an earlier date or time"
In a simple sense, backwarding your alarm to some minutes before the actual time you wanted is another tip in achieving a perfect midnight wake. For instance, one had plan to wake up at 3am, so preponing the time to like 2:40am will surely be of help, in this case once the alarm rings at 2:40am all one need to do is to snooze it for like 5mins, and by the time this will be done like three to four times, then one should be able to wake and make proper use of the wake. I learnt this from a friend and its practice has always been fruitful.
TIP FOUR: EMBARK ON SOFT EXERCISE AFTER WAKE
Exercise as we all (all rights reserved www.hashimyousuph.blogspot.com) know awakens the sleeping hormones or dulling parts of the body. Now imagine for someone who has been on sleep for more than four/five hours, definitely such will have some hormones or parts of his body already dulling or not so active. Thus, embarking on soft exercise after wake will restore activeness to the body and make one prepared for subsequent actions. In this case, press up like 20folds is advised, be mindful its a soft exercise as this is just to restore activeness to the body. Here no one is advising you to train for a match, no go dey do 200 frog jumps or 400 tik taks o. You smiled? Great!
TIP FIVE: NOW TRY WAKING WITHOUT ALARM OR WITH A LOW VOLUMED ONE
As a matter fact, if one could be able to stick to this it will positively engineers ones midnight wake. Also, being able to wake with a soft alarm on its own is a signal for sharp and sensitive hormones, by this, one will later get to a stage where using of alarm before wake will be no more needed. Albeit, its a gradual step.
TIP SIX: DETERMINATION
Apparently, this should have been the foremost tip, but its still okay being here. It wont be a calumny to say nothing good is achieved in this life without determination. A more reason why Napoleon Bonaparte said the truest wisdom is a resolute determination. So in order to achieve a perfect midnight wake one must be determined with it, for it is an herculean task.
LAST TIP: CONSISTENCY
Let delve into this by a quote of the current Arsenal FC manager (Arsene Wenger) who once said when you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren't the people who are motivated, but have consistency in their motivation.
Thus, to perfect a midnight wake consistency shouldn't be prejudice. In fact, it has been a say that whatever one practiced for 11 days with consistency will be part and parcel of such individual. Hence, the act of waking today and skipping it tomorrow will always be a hindrance towards a perfect midnight wake.
