Answer

Yes sleeping hours are fasting hours. The math is correct but how tf you sleep for 10 hours? I’m lucky if I get 6 hours a night, good for you. You could probably push this to 18:6 or 20:4. Do you eat immediately when you wake up? Try and wait until noon to eat something. If you’re not dying of starvation, which can be overcome if your mentally strong enough, push it till 2. Depends on how bad you want whatever results you’re shooting for.

Answer

Non eating hours = fasting. Sleep is helpful to ride out the non eating hours. If you stop eating at 6 PM then the 16 hours end at 10 AM. However your sleep helps you avoid hunger pangs for 6-7 hours (considering 6-7 hours of sleep).

Sleep away !
