To my fellow Muslim HNers out there: How do you handle your work schedule during Ramadan, specially now that it's during summer for those of us in the northern hemisphere?

I had a lot of problems so far getting enough sleep between working normal daytime hours, going for Isha and Taraweeh prayers, and waking up for sehri/suhoor. But I think I've worked out a schedule that works for me now, but first a little background:

I work in my own startup. We're three people, and I'm the only coder. I really need my mind and body to be fresh in order to work enthusiastically, and I couldn't just sleep the whole day because I need to be able to communicate with my business partners, who keep normal hours. I also miss caffeine (Diet Coke usually) and something to munch on and keep the blood flowing to my head during the day.

So here's what I've come up with:

I wake up at 8 PM and do Iftar and pray Maghrib. Then at 9:30 PM I go to the mosque for Isha and Taraweeh, and I come back home around 11:30 PM. Take a few hours break, then get to the office by 3 or 4 AM. I start working, do sehri at the office and pray Fajr there too, and my partners come in at around 8 AM, so we have time to talk and work together. Then I head back home around noon, and go to sleep. So I'm getting almost 8 hours of sleep this way. And up until Fajr time, while I'm working, I can eat something and have caffeine too.

How do you handle it?
