Question Does anyone feel improved sleep during fasting ?

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

No, my sleep is pretty bad when fasted. I've read that it could be because your body and mind go into survival mode, telling you to wake up and hunt for some food. I'm at a lowish body fat percentage though, so that may be the difference.
