Explaining Ramadan
'O believers, you must fast so that you may learn self-restraint.
Fasting is prescribed for you during a fixed number of days.
(Surah 2:183-4)
Sawm, or fasting, one of the five pillars of Islam. Sawm is the
deliberate control of the body by an act of will. During the 29 or 30
days of the Muslim month of Ramadan healthy adult Muslims will go
without all the pleasures of the body during all the hours of
daylight. The fast begins as the first light of dawn touches the
horizon and ends with sunset. Hunger, comfort and sex are the three
things, which have to be brought under control.
Nothing must pass the lips (not even chewing-gum, a cigarette, or the
smoke of someone else's cigarette!), and a real conscious effort must
be made to make sure no evil deed or thought is committed. If the
emotions of the heart or mind, or the behavior of the Muslim are
wrong, then the fast will lose its real significance.
Along with salat, another important form of worship is fasting. It is
obligatory for each Muslim, apart from some exemptions, to fast in the
month of Ramadan. During the hours of fasting, food and drink and
sexual relations between husband and wife are forbidden. It is
enjoined that during fasting one should pay attention to remembrance
of God and study the Holy Quran in abundance. One should try to
curtail one's worldly pastimes as much as possible during Ramadan, and
to be particularly inclined towards charity and alms giving.
Human life is dependent on food and drink and the continuation of the
human race depends on the marital relationship. While fasting one

if a child is too young and tries to keep a fast when he can not, but
children do not have to fast compulsory until they are thirteen years
old. So on the whole I think that fasting has too many advantages and
not many disadvantages. So I think that fasting is good thing for
Muslims not a bad thing. Looking at it from a Muslims perspective
there are no disadvantages about fasting.

For example young athletes are being out in danger. The youth are being pushed past their limits and worked so hard it is becoming dangerous. Kids that all around struggle with what could become a mental or physical disabilities. Mitchell suggests “They are negatively affecting the physical and mental well-being of a child.

There are many dangers young athletes pass up everyday due to the intensity of youth youth sports.
Due to the continuous nature of patient care, many areas of the nursing profession rely on shift work to maintain 24-hour staffing. According to the Institute for Work and Health, shift work has been defined as “employment with anything other than a regular daytime work schedule” (2012). While many nurses work one specific shift, such as days shifts or nights shifts, many work rotating shifts, in which nurses are scheduled to work a combination of day, evening, and night shifts (Walsh, 2013). They may work forward shift rotations, in which they work a day to night shifts in succession, or they may work reverse shift rotations, in which they transition from night to day shifts (Institute for Work and Health, 2012). A nurse working a shift rotation may transition between shifts over a period of days or a period of weeks. Although some areas still utilize eight hour shifts, most hospital systems have transitioned to 12-hour shifts over the past two decades . There has been concern that 12-hour shift rotations are contributing to burnout and nurse fatigue. Burnout is defined as extensive
