when y'all IF, do you include sleep hours?

I work night shift from 6pm to 6am. Most days I’ll eat at 4pm, work my shift, come home go to sleep, and won’t eat again till about 2pm the next days. Would that count as 22 hours or 15 hours since I slept 7 hours?

Yup! I work night shift too. I tend to be flexible with my eating window some days I’ll shorten it (I’m currently doing 16:8). For my first shift back I’ll usually stop eating before my shift starts and won’t eat again until I wake up the next day like you. If I wake up to pee or something and it has been past the 16 hours and I’m hungry I’ll eat a little snack then go back to bed. I just play it by ear when I work and sleep during the day. Minimum fast for me is always 16 hours though.
