I'm only up to episode 10 of the anime, but it seems as though Nezuko has no
source of sustenance at all, not even water. We know she slept for 2 years and
that was said to provide an alternative to human food/blood. However, with the
muzzle seemingly permanent and no food or water ever consumed in the show, is
sleep her only source of energy?

In Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) how does Nezuko get sustenance?


Yes, to gain energy and recover from injuries she sleeps and does not get any
other form of nourishment. During the Mount Natagumo arc of the series when
she gets hurt by one of the demons she passes out in order to recover(Episode
19).

**[Demons](https://kimetsu-no-yaiba.fandom.com/wiki/Demon)**

This are one of the abilities of a demon; ( _you can refer to the link to view
the other abilities_ )

  * **Immortality** : Demons possess eternal youth and can live for centuries, sometimes even longer if they're incredibly strong. **They can't die through conventional means** , but can be killed by sunlight or with one of the Demon Slaying Corps' special Nichirin Blades.

  * **Growing Power** : The strength of a specific Demon depends almost entirely on how many humans they have eaten, and they can also grow stronger by receiving additional blood from Muzan, which is how the Twelve Demon Moons gained their overwhelming power. Some Demons, however, have a limit to how much they can use to grow stronger, and they might be not compatible with a higher amount of Muzan's blood.

Being that said demons don't need to eat humans at all to survive as they are
immortal and they'd only do this because they wanted to become stronger so the
answer is **Yes** , Nezuko takes the sleeping as form of nutrients to sustain
herself though this not give her additional power because she's not consuming
humans, she was just exhausted and use sleeping to make up for it.
