      @@shen775 DONT DRY FAST !!! your head hurts bc your electrolyte levels are disturbed + lacking energy overall, not drinking water will make your electrolyte levels go even worse. Thats basically whats keeping you alive

    It becomes extremely difficult to fall asleep as soon as I start fasting, even if they’re just 16h fasts. My body is tired (because I also workout) but my brain is completely wired.
    I’m going to try this!

    I'm currently on day 12 of my 21 day spiritual water fast and finding I am sleeping last week, average 3 1/2 hours this week, a little better with 5 to 6 1/2 hours sleep. Although my fitbit is saying "poor sleep," I feel alert and refreshed during the day. I started taking electrolytes with 1/8 Hymalayan salt warm water during the day if I'm feeling a little week. Good video to understand what's going on in my body.

    This is a huge problem for me while fasting, the sleep disruption is always making me quit my fast

    Yoga Nidra is the best thing I’ve ever done to fall asleep during a fast or anytime for that matter.

    Think it’s really important to mention eating disorders just to warn people going in this direction that they’re doing this for the right reasons

      Mindset is certainly important with fasting! 🙂

    • @theinvisiblewoman5709

      I don’t think people with eating disorders are going around looking for the healthiest ways to fast. Usually they have a poor body image and aversion to food. Different problem and different solutions.

  • @HH-gv8mx

    I wanted to do a 24 hour fast but I just got out of bed and ate raw broccoli red onions, avocados, and raw almonds so I broke my fast at 3 AM with healthy food but nonetheless I broke my fast. That means I have to fast at 3 AM every day this is messing up my sleep schedule.

    • @FastingWell
      @FastingWell  Před 27 dny

      Well, you could probably tweak your fasting schedule as needed...
      Hope your sleep is getting better!

    I normally sleep good at night but I’ve been dry fasting 20 -23 hrs the last 5 days and I’ve been having trouble sleeping at night.

    • @FastingWell
      @FastingWell  Před 2 měsíci

      Yeah. It could be related to some of those hormonal and fluid / electrolyte changes.

    If I were to put those 6 grams in water, how many gallons or litters should that be.

    • @FastingWell
      @FastingWell  Před 2 měsíci

      I'm not sure what's an optimal volume off the top of my head, but I find it easier to take extra salt as concentrated doses, and then drink water or whatever over the course of the day to balance it out. Then I mostly just drink when I'm thirsty. Your preference may vary.

    About 5 thp?

    • @FastingWell
      @FastingWell  Před 2 měsíci

      Was that one of the captions in the video? I can't remember, hopefully there wasn't a typo. But anyway, 1 tsp of salt is roughly 2 grams of sodium. So you can do the math from there 🙂

    • @adriana77
      @adriana77 Před 2 měsíci

      I found 3 tsp or pickle juice helps. I’m so happy fasting, it’s the best. I feel like I found the secret to a good life and weight maintenance.
