Is fasting less effective while sleeping?

[abchia]

I understand that fasting is simply not eating , but is it less effective than if someone was awake? For example if one was to take SN can they just sleep during the x number of fasting hours?

This not an advice. It will depend a bit on your general metabolism but I would say that even after sleeping for 8-10h you've fasted, I wouldn't eat a very heavy meal before going to bed.

If anything, it would be more effective if you can get a normal night's sleep.
(Though, this I'm mainly referring to the health benefits, and the fact that it makes fasting easier.)

A little less but not much.

"During normal sleep the metabolic rate reduces by around 15%"

It still counts as fasting since you are not eating and your metabolic system is still working. Just make sure to have a light meal and a few hours before sleeping.
