You have to listen to your body. Everybody is different.
I'm now experimenting with dry fasting, that is no food and... no water. I recently did five days. I started with two, then three, then four. Maybe next time I'll do a week... we'll see
I did 3 days dry before. That was brutal. 5 days is so long. You have a strong will.
Dry fasting felt incredibly powerful to me though. It was a spiritual experience.

I have heard that is great for sleep. I have been going to bed super early lately. By 8 or so usually. And getting up before the sun rise. It feels like my dreams always come early In the am, after going back to sleep at like 2 or 3 am. Most of my life I went to sleep around 10 or 11. It's interesting that you see that as early.

Yeah. That sounds rough. I am not a night person and I feel like I usually need 7 hours sleep minimum to feel good. It's interesting how many people seem to do well with less.
