Hit the Snooze Button
Today is the first day I've not been waken up by the calls for the first morning prayer from our nearby mosque. To be honest, though, I didn't mind. First of all, I am still fascinated by the singing sound emerging from the loudspeakers and the gentle reminder that I now live in Arabia and second of all, the calls start at little after 5am - to me it's the same pleasure that I get from hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock (which I tend to do way too often) only here I know that I can enjoy at least a couple of hours more of sleep...

Just wait till it gets lighter, the time for it ofcourse becomes earlier and earlier. You will get used to it and sleep through it though :-) Depending, ofcourse, on just HOW close the mosque is :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, our bedroom window is facing directly toward it - but when we look for a new apartment we will definitely take this into consideration as well. I sleep through it most mornings now - but then again, I don't really mind anyway :)
