Even deeper, the essence of Ramadan is to not eat and drink while you need it the most, during the day, where you work and get tired.

It resonates with the feeling of holding your anger even when you have the rights to be angry. Holding your arrogance when faced against someone who had less money, fame, etc, than you.

And Ramadan fasting is more than just not eating and drinking. You are not allowed to lie, to be angry, to speaks foul/dirty.

Eid Mubarak! Taqabalallah!

A study on judicial rulings show a link between rulings and the time they have been issued between food breaks [1]. It appears that the more hungry the judges are, the less they show clemency.

Similarly, living in a Mulsim country, I have not observed the virtues that supposedly stem from religious fasting.

The Hungry Judge Effect has been debunked. Not that your larger point is not valid.

If you're going to claim something is debunked, a citation would be greatly appreciated.
