Fast Your Sleeping

I dont know what you mean by "fair" but if you want to know whether or not sleeping through your fast is actually fasting then no, isnt you know what am I saying?. Its like fasting without praying, pretty much just not eating and drinking.

Sleeping Through Your Fast Studies Doctrine Mormon

It's fine to nap if you need to; but while fasting, one does so while trying to ponder the reason for his/her fast. It's hard to ponder if you sleep it away. Fasting just to not eat and that's it, is not really fasting. It's no more than a starvation diet if that's all that's being done.
Yet, if prayer, thoughtfulness, and sincerity are also there, then sure nap if you need to, but try to dedicate real time to your fast. That way you get a real answer.

Good luck!

Fast Your Sleeping

But is it truly possible to do that while napping? I don't think so. I think we should be up and praying constantly.
