They're very short fasts. Just 24 hours and you're asleep for 8 of them. Not that difficult really. The health benefits sound great. In fact, I noticed on my swim today my stamina had improved enormously. Read the article if you haven't, it really is thought provoking.

I'd think of this more as "Ramadan Lite" than anything else.
