I found this and adjusted my calories to more with dinner and made sure I included some carbs with dinner which helped increase my deep and rem sleep.

I tend to then have a high protein breakfast and salad with protein and healthy fats for lunch.

Yes - to an extent I've found this - particularly when I'm fasting

This is exactly what I came to say.

Up the proteins. You may not feel hungry but your body is. Protein helps with the repair it needs while sleeping.
