I’m going to pray the Rosary does anyone else pray the Rosary at night? I pray the rosary to help with me falling asleep I was able to pray two decades of the Rosary. What do you do when you pray the rosary?
 
I used to pray the rosary at night, but I then started moving it towards the daytime when I drive to work. Just more easier for me to handle than me trying to finish a decade while tired 😅
 
Come pray with us anytime you want 😇

I did dozed off saying the rosary last night perfect for me. Also good for when you are having trouble with getting to sleep ☺️
 
It is fantastic to pray a daily rosary. Not too sure about using the rosary as a sleep aid, however. We are to meditate on the mysteries and I know that when I am very tired and try to say the rosary and begin yawning uncontrollably, I don’t even know which mystery I’m on anymore!

My family has changed our daily routine and we now say it first thing in the morning when we are all awake. “No rosary, no breakfast” as Fr. Larry Richards likes to say!
 
I sometimes pray the rosary at night, I generally pray it whenever I can. What I am doing really depends, but sometimes I walk around when I pray the rosary.
 
Recently started praying the Rosary during my night walk. Father suggested it during confession and said “walk while you pray the Rosary. It will connect your body and soul.” Its been amazing. Something about walking at night while saying it really brings it to life. I’ve also recently been trying the mental prayer (mentally focusing on the mystery while saying Hail Mary’s, including visualizing each mystery and imagining I’m in that scene and observing what is taking place etc) I’ve also found that incredible to do while saying Hail Marys. I’m usually only able to keep focus for about half of the decade but it does give an incredible euphoria.
 
I have had the hardest time getting my daily rosary said. I started out saying it at night and would also often fall asleep in the middle of it, because that was about the only time I would remember. Then I added saying it during my lunch hour. Now that I am not working in an office setting with a regular lunch hour, I have had the most success saying it first thing in the morning when I wake up, or a least before I start my work day, but that is primarily because I am specifically saying the rosary for reparations for sins. Trying to do this at night, I would most likely fail, as I would drift off to sleep and not get my full rosary in.

So in all, saying it at night was a good way to help create the daily habit for me, but sticking to ONLY saying it at night, if you can’t stay awake, is not a good idea if you are praying for reparations. Saying it both fully daily AND saying it at night to help you sleep would be the best of both worlds 🙂
 
There are times when I can’t get sleep . So I say the Rosary until I can sleep was able to get through the third decade of the Rosary last night. I wouldn’t mind saying it during my day at work but don’t know how i can without beads i like to feel something in my hands.
 
You can get a one decade ring Rosary you know, and conceal it easily if you don’t want to be seen. Or, count on your fingers!
