Abstract in brief

Islamic intermittent fasting, as practiced during Ramadan, does not significantly affect overall sleep quality or daytime sleepiness when a consistent sleep schedule and calorie intake are maintained.
The study found that fasting led to a notable decrease in REM sleep percentage, but other sleep stages and sleep efficiency remained unchanged.
Despite changes in REM sleep, participants' daytime sleepiness, as measured by standardized tests, stayed the same across fasting, non-fasting, and recovery periods.]
