I strive to wake up for the Fajr prayer and standing in night prayer, but I am a heavy sleeper and I am lazy, so what is your advice to me?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a heavy sleeper and I am lazy about the Fajr prayer, despite my striving to wake up. He says: I am a heavy sleeper, and I am lazy about the Fajr prayer,

The Shaykh:
A heavy sleeper. Yes, professor. My sleep. Huh? Get it right, his sleep. I mean, himself. Yes.

The questioner:
And I am lazy about the Fajr prayer, despite my striving to wake up for standing in night prayer, and I try repeatedly, but to no avail, so what is your advice to me?

The Shaykh:
Treat yourself by sleeping at the beginning of the night, because you may stay up late, so sleep from the start of the night. Take your ease in sleep until you are energetic for standing in the last part of the night for the tahajjud prayer, the witr prayer, and the Fajr prayer. Do not deprive yourself. Also, take the means that wake you up, such as setting an alarm or having someone wake you. Strive to do this. Accustom yourself to standing in prayer, and you will become accustomed to it after that. Yes.
