The problem is in wasting one's time in things other than the obedience to Allah, because this cuts you off from Allah and the Hereafter. Because of this, you find those who waste their time in pointless talk and entertainment neglecting these acts of obedience. You find that their hearts are hard and sealed. You find that one of them acting like a donkey by day, and a corpse by night - in fact, you might even find the opposite, as now, some act like donkeys by night, since this is when they are most active. So, he is like a donkey when he is active, and is like a corpse when he is sleeping. We seek refuge with Allah from this, and this is because he is cut off from Allah...the connection between him and Allah is cut off, and because of this, he is dead.
by Shaykh Safar al-Hawali translated by Abu Sabayaa
May Allah guide us all 2 the path of jannat al firdos
