intermittent fasting and sleep
sleeping on a fast
fasting sleep deprivation
#keto #ketosis #sleep
The longer it has been since my last meal, the harder it is for me to sleep. If i am still up at 4 am and know that my heart is struggling, my solution is to eat.
I sleep best after a big meal
wonder why?
Because your blood sugar spikes then drops just as quickly, unless you're not consuming many carbs.
The insulin spike makes you sleepy so you my get to sleep quicker but your blood sugar will then fall and it'll wake you up!
Yea... you sleep best right after eating...
Me too!
Here's the answer you couldn't find:
norepinephrine
Our body produces more of it while prolonged fasting (24+ hours.), and it keeps us awake. Mine really kicks on after 3 days.
Adam Speaking thx i was looking for this, cant sleep after 26hour fast
hi? is it okay to sleep while fasting instead of eating/cheating?
So what if you want to fast longer than 24+ hours??? Currently having trouble sleeping at +72 hours
@@ronnieperas2149 it’s fine to have a nap if ur tired. But the aim is that your starving your flesh and nourishing your spirit. So your suppose to pray worship or study the Word. That’s how you get ur spirit strong 💪🏻 I think if u sleep all day you’d just be feeding the flesh in another way rather than going to God
@@s.a.mbyrne6272 thank you for answering maam. ✨
Thanks for the tips dude! I’m on a 7 day fast. I was doing well with sleeping last night but 52 hours in and I can’t sleep a wink! It’s currently 1: 51 in the morning and I’ve got to get up reaal early. If I can’t sleep well tonight, I’ll at least try again tomorrow. This is going to be a long seven days.
Me too ! Am at 52 hours fasting of 7 days fast .I woke up after 1 hour of sleep with alot of energy. It's almost 6am and still can't sleep .I wonder how am gonna be able to function properly today .
How is that healthy if you cant sleep ?
I'm on day 4 and it's 3am and I can't sleep
If you eat only dinner a day like 7pm or 8pm you will have better sleep. The first 3 days it hard but after that it gets better and also will balance your hormones. You sleep good.. i have done it for 20 days. It felt great! Don't go to bed on an empty stomach of course it will keep you awake. And also no sugar at all..
so how do we go to bed not on an empty stomach but also not being kept up with food being digested?
@@JulieAziza what do you think?
I've been doing more or less an 18-6 pattern for 4 months with steady weight loss of about 1 pound week or more. Problem is, as others comment here, I'm lucky to get 5 hours sleep a night, and generally up by 4 am, w-i-d-e awake. I've seen elsewhere others essentially saying this is a good thing, I haven't heard of/met anyone yet who says they can sleep better til this video.
I was sleepless just because of skipping breakfast, really weird
Have you tried throwing in occasional cheat days?
Exactly having a same issue here. Have you found a solution?
I can't even skip breakfast !!!
I tried, for months and months, the 16/8 IF, by skipping breakfast, no coffee nothing, just water. No matter what, I could not sleep more than 3h a night and felt like shit all the time.
I ate breakfast again, not even thinking it could affect sleep (I had no clue it was the 16/8 that was affecting it) and since then I slept good, around 7h.
Puzzled, I recently decided to go back to the 16/8 IF for fat loss... Barely got any sleep for days. Best night was only 4h30.
Why is my brain so weird like that ? I keep hearing of all these people fasting as they wish and I can't even skip a meal... I envy them.
that's very interesting. Why do you think that is?
@@BradCarr_ It seems like my body/brain would go into overdrive from skipping a meal, like a "panic" and have cortisol/adrenaline levels way too high because of that.
Even skipping the breakfast or delaying it, I can feel a difference in my sleep.
I will continue to try fasts, for health reasons, but will do everything I can to reduce cortisol. I just bough a whole bottle of Potassium bicarbonate, and Magnesium citrate, and Thiamine vitamine B1, I heard they are very potent cortisol reducers.
Anthony J. These were the exact same symphtoms with me (16/8 IT). Did you go back to intermittent fating since than? If so, were Potassium bicarbonate, Magnesium citrate, Thiamine vitamin b1 helped you with sleep? Thanks in advance...
i have this same problem. i can’t do long fasts, water fasts, or dry fasts because it deprives me of sleep & i end up not feeling well the next morning & my skin sometimes end up breaking out (i tend to break out whenever i don’t get good night’s rest).
You have to lower your carbs right down and increase your protein and fat. It will help you go much longer between meals. Carbs just make you hungrier in the long run!
At 24 hours I wanted to sleep but my heart was beating fast
Cgttr, why do you think that is?
Usually Potassium related. Check your electrolytes.
Salt
@@jennygibbons1258 too much or too little?
This is a good video but I'm already doing everything mentioned and I still can't sleep! I generally feel awake and on during the day but I'm so exhausted and sleep when I wake up at 6 am after 6 hours of restless sleep and I waste an hour lying in bed. I feel like I'm missing something
Into 25hrs and I can't sleep
manal javid, what's your strategy?
@@BradCarr_ I just try to
power through really.
@@manaljavid9624 good luck
Man!😡I've been doing all I can & just can't sleep. And I was already sleep deprived😫
@1min15sec "Keep electrolytes in check". So 7Pm I withhold water & all foods after my last dinner, , so less need to urinate, so not losing electrolytes. in evenings with ZERO fluids,.oh my gosh, im sleeping way better than I have in last 2 years.(when I used to have 12oz lemon water after dinner & 12 OZ BEDSIDE. no more) thats me. whatever works for you
wow, that's an interesting strategy that's new to me! How did you come up with that plan?
I have a much harder time sleeping at night when I haven’t eaten. Often when I can’t sleep, eating something will help
Me go to sleep, and I got into a habit of binge eating before bed and I’ve gained 15
Pounds. I really want to lose the weight and right now it’s 10pm bed time and all I wanna do is eat but I had a huge dinner at 5. I feel like I can’t sleep when my stomach is empty it makes me feel restless
Same here 😥
Not maybe but for sure is the growth hormone. As I fasted already 5 times for 2 weeks I barely got a good sleep during fasting periods which made me exhausted and not sleep good. And I learned from my research that it's mainly growth hormone and insufficient carbohydrates that do this damage to sleeping. So fasting is good and healthy if you are not working or not doing a creative job, otherwise, sleep deprivation is a major problem. Even in intermitted fasting, you need sufficient carbohydrates to sleep well and I don't agree going on a totally empty stomach would help you sleep well since you need sufficient carbohydrates to sleep well. Sleep is way important to damage it and can cause very dangerous cardiovascular complications. For that reason, I shifted my OMAD meal from 12 PM to 4 PM as one going to sleep regularly at 10PM.
Most of one's sleep needs come from digesting and assimilating food. Particularly meat. So if you are not sleeping as much during an extended fast, this is why. I did a 7 day fast once, and by the seventh day I was sleeping one hour and feeling totally refreshed.
what happens or what does it mean if you get angina (chest pressure & trouble breathing), along with strange tingles + pins & needles throughout the body during fasting? how do we cope when it occurs?
Might be low in minerals and electrolytes. I use to get chest pain but it stopped when I started adding Himalayan salt and electrolytes to my water.
Ren Tro thanks for the tip! i’ll try that out to see how everything goes the next time around.
xmissjx You’re welcome. I really hope it helps.
I'm extremely sleep deprived and a lot of mental health problems are coming up to form this. I have these huge bags under my eyes and lately sometimes I go on these benders 0f 2-3 days w no sleep.SHould I go on a water fast?? I have no idea what to do. Please help. This is the most miserable and illogical I've ever been.
Salt in water
I'm doing 20:4 fasting can you give me a perfect time table for a week and I want my lunch time 12 pls
Didn't help me at all
what's missing?
Brendan Carr helping
@@BradCarr_ Nothing. You provided excellent information.
I did 36 hours fasting, I guess It's because, My diet It's actually low in carbs, I do tons on exercise have more musclemas than to fat.
Maybe that's why in my case I experience the effects of fasting very quickly and... Maybe that's why I coudn't sleep during 36 hours of fasting.
Makes sense, good advice.
@George, thank you. What did you learn from it?
@@george6252 Wow! thanks for sharing. Glad it was useful.
Very nice Video 🤝
thank you, what did you like about it?
Can we sleep after lunch during intermittent fasting please reply
Napping is fine, so long as you aren’t sleeping to block out the hunger. We are suppose to be filling our spirit when the body is weakened. I think if u sleep u can miss the power of fasting xx
Do you count the hours of fasting when your asleep?
When I have fasting bloodwork for my doctor, I schedule it for the morning because I can count my overnight sleeping hours. How about you?
Currently at 57 hour fast can’t sleep really
All I know about electrolytes is that plants need electrolytes.
Yes I get that idioracy reference
Day 8 and 9, I’m struggling to sleep. Fk. 🤬😞
