Question Does anyone feel improved sleep during fasting ?

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

There are plusses and minuses to getting to sleep while fasting.

On the negative side, my noradrenaline is spiked and I might feel more hyped, more jittery.

On the positive side, I don't have any digestive issues that might interfere with sleep.

I don't usually have appetite issues when I'm eating. I have food amount control issues - but that's a separate issue entirely - and a main reason I fast.

What really helps me is daily exercise and a complete schedule.
