At the end of a fast day I go to sleep with a rumbling tummy, dreaming of the big bowl of cereal I’m gonna have for brekkie, followed by beans on toast and a proper capuccino (been on the espresso for fast days…literally not my cuppa!)
Of course I woke up this morning and don’t really fancy any of that!
So… Hunger as a psychological pain (partly)? Does your body do enough repair overnight to stop the physical hunger pangs? Or is it your brain finally rested from fast mode?
I guess here is the argument that you aren’t really fasting per se when you are asleep, maybe?
I never really wake up hungry anyway, whereas my (annoyingly skinny) sister has a knack for being able to cook herself fried eggs with her eyes still half shut the second she rolls out of bed 🙂 …so I’m aware that of course everybody’s different.
