Willsleeping more help a fractured bone to deal faster?

Not really: A fracture will take a certain amount of time to heal depending on the type and location if you are a healthy individual, there is not much you can really do to make it heal faster if you have some medical or electrolyte or vitamin deficiencies, you might benefit from having those corrected first.

No: Not at all. Unless, the fracture is in your foot and this keeps you off of your foot.
