If I go beyond 2 days, I get cramps and sleep like total garbage. I keep tossing and turning all night. It's pretty frustrating, as I've completed longer fasts before (30 days, 17 days, 15 days, 7 days, numerous 3-6 day water fasts, etc...), and I would do it more often if it wasn't for the fact that I know I'm gonna get no sleep during it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Following. I’ve slept like absolute shit on this 72 hour fast. I’d like to do a 48 hour fast every week, but the prospect of insomnia is a real fasting-boner killer. It’s not electrolytes for me - I have a ton of them.
