Late Sehri or Skipped Sehri — What’s Your Habit?
Let’s be honest. When it comes to sehri, most people fall into one of two categories: 1️⃣ Wake up very late, eat quickly, and go back to sleep. 2️⃣ Skip sehri completely because “I’m not hungry.” Which one are you? This one habit alone can decide your: Energy during the fast Cravings at iftar Mood stability Fat gain or fat control Ability to focus in ibadah And yet… it’s the most ignored meal of Ramzan. ❌ Skipping Sehri: What Really Happens Many people think: “If I skip sehri, I’ll lose more weight.” But what actually happens? Your body: Starts the fast already under-fueled Experiences stronger energy dips Triggers higher stress hormones Increases cravings at iftar Makes overeating more likely By maghrib, you’re not just hungry — you’re desperate. And desperation never leads to balanced decisions. ❌ Very Late, Heavy Sehri On the other side… You wake up 10 minutes before Fajr. Eat whatever is easiest. Maybe something heavy. Maybe sugary tea. Maybe leftovers. Then immediately lie down again. Now digestion is poor. Sleep quality drops. You wake up groggy. And by midday, energy crashes. It feels like fasting is harder than it should be. ✅ What Sehri Is Supposed to Do Sehri is not just a ritual. It is: A metabolic anchor An energy stabilizer A hunger regulator A performance booster A balanced sehri helps: Control cravings at iftar Maintain steady energy Reduce headaches Prevent overeating Support fat loss instead of fat gain Ramzan feels lighter when sehri is structured. Ask Yourself Honestly Do I treat sehri intentionally or casually? Am I fueling for stability or just “getting by”? Do I wake up early enough to eat calmly? Or do I rush and regret it later? Ramzan without proper sehri turns into survival mode. Ramzan with structured sehri feels controlled and balanced. 💬 Be honest: Are you team “late sehri” or team “skip sehri”? And how does it affect your energy during the day?
