A recent study has proven that getting up early before sunrise prolongs life, increases the activity of the body cells and improves man's perception and his mental abilities. Scientists say that sleeping for 6 hours between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.  equals 12 hours of sleeping during daytime. We glorify Allah, the almighty for Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, commanded us to get up early in order to worship Allah and pray dawn prayer. Moreover, Allah, the exalted talks in the holy Qur’an about the significance of night as a method of ideal and comfortable sleep and says that the night is a kind of robe for man that helps protect him from the physical and psychological problems. Allah, the great says in the holy Qur'an:

“And He it is who makes the night as a robe for you, and sleep as repose, and makes the day (As it were) a resurrection.”   Furqan: 25: 47
