Explain me why carbohydrate consumption increases sleep time and the sleep feels more efficient and deep.
I´ve gone from 86kg in February to 72kg today using low carb diet and intermittent fasting. I also started a new job at construction so have been getting more exercise besides gym.
So far so good, but after being more than 2 weeks on strict carbs (max 30 grams per day) my sleep quality decreases.
I also feel that after heavy week in terms of training and work, my sleep quality gets worse. Last night I only could get like 5 hours of sleep. I have a day off, so I was fuck it, and decided to go buy shitloads of carbs. I ate some potatoes, protein bars, rice and fruits. After that I slept like a baby next 4 hours.
Why does low carb kill my sleep gains

bump for interest, on water fast and sleeping only 5 hours a day

probably because your body needs carbs
stop falling for the low carb meme

Low carb diets are one of the unhealthiest things you can possibly do, short of eating nothing at all, so it isn't specifically surprising that you get side effects such as decreased sleep quality and duration. The specific mechanisms could be a combination of any number of things, but why do you care? You're deliberately engaging in malnutrition and emulating a starvation response so the results are up in the air.

Low carb has benefits, no hunger pawns during the day and more consistent energy.
If I eat bread & porridge and stuff like chicken and rice at a meal, I feel tired all day.
Then again, I´ve been thinking that maybe I should save the carbs till late evening and maybe get the low carb benefits by eating high protein, high fat in the mornings and high carb in the evening.

This may surprise you but hunger is the body's signal to consume food and is actually a sign of good health, whereas absence of hunger and reduced hunger are medical symptoms known as anorexia.

Damn
Really, though?
I have trouble sleeping
No carbs, slight keto everyday and intermittent fasting
I also check my blood sugar and my blood sugar is always in the normal range, never goes above 80 even though I already ate..
