Help Final questions about sn method to be sure

[HopefulSleep]

Sorry if I already asked this but I want to be sure I will ctb in some days.

Are 2 glasses enough?
I often read that people prepare a third glass but the problem would be it would cost more time if it isn't necessary.

What is the best water fasting time?
I often read 2 hours but if longer is better I can do that, I don't have a big problem not taking water.

When I start food fasting I will also stop drinking soda but can I still drink sparkling water instead of still water?

Can I use a laxative before water fasting so that I can defecate fully before taking the sn?

When I weight the sn should I close the sn bottle right after taking an amount to weight so it doesn't degrade?
My scale is small so I can't weight it at once.

1. 2 glasses is enough but 3 is advised, just to be safe

2. 6 hours or so, whenever you start to feel very thirsty is when you fasted enough, in my opinion.

3. Not entirely sure about this one, i'd just be safe and only drink water. For me, soda creates lots of gas and makes me nauseous sometimes so if i were you i'd also stop drinking sparking water.

4. If laxatives help you a lot with getting bowel movements then you can do so, i'm not very sure about this one either.

5. You should close the SN, just to be safe. If it will stay out for more than an hour or two then it'd be better to have it closed anyways. Since your scale is small, you should also close it too, to store it so it doesn't get lost and so it can be organized. I don't think it can degrade that quickly because you're just weighing, it shouldn't take that long.

The problem is I will also fast while sleeping and I will wake up so that I will ctb in more than 3 hours so the water fasting time would then be longer than 11 hours.

Ok thanks.

I hope it is ok to use that.

With half of a bottle to place the sn in it should be possible in one go.
How long do you think I can wait after mixing the sn with water until it gets bad?

Its better that you're fasting for a longer time due to sleeping, you won't have to worry about being careful to not eat or drink anything because you'll be asleep. As for the storage, I'm not very sure about this. Therefore, I'm not the right person to ask. Maybe do some research or test your luck and ask around. Probably not on the general chat, though. Maybe on the SN bible or some other thread discussing SN.
