Question Does anyone feel improved sleep during fasting ?

I feel my sleep has improved. Appetite reduced and feel calm. Able to sleep easily.

I sleep like the dead for the first 2-3 days. And then my sleep needs get reduced and I go from 14-15 hrs of sleep to 4-5 hrs a day and physically unable to sleep more. It's not better or more restful sleep but it's nice to feel awake after waking up, I don't get groggy.

This is exactly what happened to me. But lately I realised I can sleep 8 hours now but I wake up full of energy every 2-3 hours and then fall back asleep

You normally sleep 15 hours? That's bonkers.
