I’m starting intermittent fasting, eat period from 12pm-8pm. I usually take an over the counter blue gel sleep aid around 10 or 11. Will this interrupt my fasting? or will it not do anything. thank you!

    It will do nothing except hopefully help you sleep.

    There’s no inherent magic to Intermittent Fasting, so taking a sleep aid, eating a snack, drinking a glass of juice/wine or even eating a three course meal won’t do any harm (except obviously the calories if you’ve already hit your target!).

    IF is just a method some people use to make it easier to comply with their calorie allowance. It works well for some, less well for others, but it’s just a tool not a miracle cure!
