Some Muslims Do Fall Asleep During the Day

Have you ever tried to stay awake after a late night bedtime, an early morning alarm clock and hunger pains gnawing at your stomach? It can be pretty difficult, and while Muslims are used to the strain that fasting for Ramadan can take on their bodies, that doesn't stop them from falling victim to the mid-day nap. Many Muslims accidentally fall asleep at work or at school, which can make for awkward conversations.
