Hi bella,
The wants and needs of the body will vary enormously while fasting or eating, so your need for sleep can only be a good thing.
Your body is telling you that this is what it needs: sleep also accelerates the healing process, which is why you can feel so rejuvenated after a "good nights sleep"!
Shelton has this to say about sleep...........
"A few patients sleep more while fasting than when eating. Insomnia victims are especially likely to do this. Fasting is perhaps the quickest and most satisfactory means of remedying insomnia, although there are cases in which it requires six to ten days to secure the sleep. Upton Sinclair says, of his first fast: "I slept well throughout the fast."
I cared for one young man who slept sixteen hours out of twenty-four almost every day of a thirty days fast. Another man, an asthmatic, slept almost day and night for days during and following the fast. But asthma cases, like insomnia cases, having lost much sleep, usually sleep much as soon as fasting brings relief from the dyspnea so that they can sleep."

My opinion, is that now you have stopped active fasting, your bodily energies are being diverted away from this activity into a more essential role of cleansing and healing, leaving very little energy to spare for anything else, and therefore explains the reasons WHY you feel so increasingly fatigued.
Nothing to be overly concerned about I can assure you.
Go with the flow of your body and give in to its wants and needs: the benefits and outcome of the fast will occur sooner than would otherwise be the case.
