I have been trying this out and it really works. Use this time for studying Arabic, the deen, preparing any classes you are giving, organising yourself, college work, etc You will find that by about 3 o'clock, you will have finished a lot of your personal stuff and work stuff and have a lot more time on your hands. Do the work that you hate first and get it out of the way. The Prophet (pbuh) said that Allah has put barakah into this period after shrook so we should utilise it. Key then is not to sleep - go for a walk, shower, shake off the sleep and start doing some work. After fajr, more dhikr, etc until shrook - pray 2 rakas. Wake up fresh - pray tahajjud, read some quran, make dua and then pray fajr. In the winter, if we sleep early (say 10ish), arise early in the morning an hour before fajr, we willl have had a good nights sleep. The key is sleeping early - the Prophet (pbuh) encouraged people to sleep after eesha and disliked useless talk into the late hours of the night. So imagine the beauty of us all joining in that together in perfect harmony. All of creation - the sun, the birds, the fish, the rocks, the stars, the moon, everything glorifies Allah at these times. Allah has repeatedly praised His creation who glorify Him before sunrise and sunset. Without it, we get tired easily, cranky, and stressed. This spiritual nourishment is what charges us during the day, Just like breakfast in the morning gives us that energy for the whole day, we need our spiritual nourishment every morning. He said that it was this "nourishment" which energised him for the day. During this time, he would do the morning adhkar from the sunnah, recite Quran aloud, make dhikr, etc until shrook time. When Ibn al-Qayyum asked his sheikh, Ibn Taymiyyah, how he managed to accomplish so much in a single day - writing books, articles, giving dars, helping muslims, training, looking after the community, etc Ibn Taymiyyah said that after fajr, he goes and spends some time alone with Allah until sunrise. Yet, if we look in the past to people far greater than anything we can dream of being, people like the Prophets, the Sahaabah and the great scholars and leaders of Islam, we see that they had the same 24 hour day as us but there was so much barakah in their time. In the work we do, we often find that there is very little time to do anything and we are rushed around a lot.

I have been following it for last few weeks and masha'Allah it has helped me a lot. I just want to share some naseehah I received from a really good brother recently.
