foolish question.......... of course it does. Dinner is on time, no matter what, and hubby is sleeping off and on during the day, and is up all night. Shorter working hours. a gazillion crazy drivers on the road just prior to Iftar, trying to get home all at the same time.

Actually I know of non Muslims who fast during Ramadan just to show solidarity. Quite a few of the Thompson's tour leaders do because the guides and drivers are.

My lifestyle hasnt changed, still working same hours but half the staff are walking around miserable and refuse to speak or smile and are reading Quran. pious for 30 days. I asked one why he wouldnt smile, he said after I eat I will smile, so I said why are you fasting if it makes you miserable, he said for the God, so I said arent you supposed to be happy doing this for the God? he said when I eat I will be happy

My lifestyle's the same during Ramadan, except that I avoid eating or drinking outside my home or restaurants during the fasting time, that's the only restriction.
