Frequently Asked Questions
What is sleep debt?
Sleep debt is the cumulative difference between the amount of sleep your body biologically requires and the actual amount of sleep you receive over time.
Can you make up for lost sleep on weekends?
Sleeping in excessively on weekends disrupts your circadian rhythm ("social jet lag"). A healthier strategy is adding 1 to 1.5 extra hours per night gradually over several days.
