extended fasting makes me a light sleeper

before I started this fast, I used to sleep like a rock. but now I wake up so easily and so early. the other day I woke up at 4:30 and just today my sibling was running around getting ready and I used to sleep through it, but as soon as they start making noise I’m up 🙃
