Summary of Transcript:
This video discusses the effects of intermittent fasting on sleep and how to structure it in a way to get improvements in sleep. It explains that when people first start intermittent fasting, they often have immense improvements in sleep because of the initial weight loss and inflammation reduction. However, research has shown that if the eating window is too late, sleep scores and slow wave sleep patterns can be affected. To avoid this, it is recommended to consolidate the bulk of calories into the mid-afternoon, break the fast with something small, peak about four or five hours before bed, and try early time restricted feeding a few days per week. It is also suggested to stack carbohydrates four hours before bed to trigger an insulin spike that will increase tryptophan availability, which can convert to serotonin and melatonin.

Is Intermittent Fasting Ruining Your Sleep?

Intermittent fasting is a popular dietary approach that involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting. While it has many potential benefits, it can also have an impact on your sleep. In this video, I’ll discuss how intermittent fasting can affect your sleep and what you can do to ensure that you get the rest you need.

Ramadan Fasting & Sleep

Studies have shown that fasting during Ramadan, a month-long Islamic holiday, can lead to a decrease in sleep quality. This is due to the fact that fasting during Ramadan requires people to go without food or drink for long periods of time, which can lead to dehydration and hunger. As a result, people may experience difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep.

Overweight & Sleep Apnea

Intermittent fasting may also be linked to sleep apnea, a condition in which a person’s breathing pauses during sleep. People who are overweight or obese are at a higher risk of developing sleep apnea, and studies have shown that intermittent fasting can lead to weight loss. While this is beneficial in many ways, it can also put people at risk for developing sleep apnea.

3 Ways to Improve Sleep While Fasting

If you’re fasting and having trouble sleeping, there are a few things you can do to improve your sleep. First, make sure to stay hydrated. Dehydration can lead to difficulty falling asleep, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Second, make sure to get enough exercise. Exercise can help to regulate your sleep-wake cycle and can also help you to fall asleep more quickly. Finally, try to get some exposure to natural light during the day. This can help to regulate your body’s internal clock and can make it easier to fall asleep at night.

Intermittent fasting can have an impact on your sleep, but there are steps you can take to ensure that you get the rest you need. By staying hydrated, getting enough exercise, and getting some exposure to natural light, you can help to improve your sleep and take advantage of the potential benefits of intermittent fasting.
