I'm getting 4-5 hours of sleep per night and 1 hour in the afternoon, so you're not alone. Moreover, drinking that much water in such a short time will cause super frequent urination; again, you're not alone. Sleep marathons on the weekends are completely normal because you're also not alone :). You're showing the exact same symptoms as me and they're completely normal in accordance to the Ramadan lifestyle. Syed,

If you feel that you need a much needed boost [to undo the damage from the juices you've been drinking] then you may have your proposed futoor and suhoor meal while taking your supplements. Ensha'Allah if you continue with the plan (without the juices) plus 2 sessions of cardio per day, you will lose the fat. Syed,
