Missing Myth: You can catch up on lost sleep over the weekend.

The idea behind this myth is that if you don't get enough sleep during the workweek, you can compensate by sleeping in or having longer nights of sleep over the weekend. However, research suggests that while this catch-up sleep might help you feel temporarily more rested, it doesn't fully offset the negative effects of chronic sleep deprivation.

Consistently not getting enough sleep during the week can lead to a sleep debt, which can affect your overall health, cognitive function, and mood. While a weekend sleep-in might make you feel more alert, it doesn't fully make up for the lost sleep's impact on your body's natural sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm) and other physiological processes.

Moreover, irregular sleep patterns—such as staying up late on weekends and then trying to readjust to an earlier schedule during the week—can disrupt your body's internal clock, making it harder to fall asleep and wake up at a consistent time. This can perpetuate a cycle of sleep deprivation and negatively impact your overall sleep quality.
