The answer

There is no harm in fasting, and sleeping most of the day does not invalidate it. If a fasting person sleeps the entire day after having made the intention to fast during the night, their fast is valid according to the majority of scholars. They are in agreement that the fast is valid if the person woke up for a moment and then slept the rest of the day.
