I read the opening post twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Sleep quality versus quantity: some people report changes to sleep duration; others report changes to sleep quality without duration change. Both can matter for recovery and daytime function.

Gastrointestinal effects overnight: nausea or reflux or constipation at night can disrupt sleep. Dosing timing (morning versus evening) might help if nighttime GI symptoms are the problem.

post #6 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

I disagree with the reply above, and I think the disagreement is substantive rather than terminological.

The distinction being drawn does not survive when you look at the published data for this specific question. I would be glad to be shown wrong on this, because the version I am arguing against is more convenient.

Energy and sleep needs: rapid weight loss increases real metabolic stress. Sleep needs might increase even though appetite for food has decreased. Prioritising sleep is prudent during active weight loss.

Apnoea monitoring: if you have diagnosed or suspected sleep apnoea, periodic monitoring (annually) during weight loss is prudent because severity changes.
