Life should go on as normal during Ramadan. Who can't fast with ease by staying up all night and then sleeping until the afternoon?

My schedule changes very little during the week. Basically eat and drink less and try to spend mre time in prayer and reflection.

Weekends are slighlty different with more emphasis on charitable activities and family obligations as well as extending invitations to staff and friends to join us for Iftar.

So, yes, school should go on as should work and more people should go to bed earlier in order to get up earlier.

I don't partcularly agree with everyone working shorter hours although I can see that allows more time to prepare Iftar and to read Quran.
