Catch-up sleep on weekends cannot make up for sleep debt: study
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- American scientists found that catch-up sleep on the weekend couldn't repay the weekday sleep debt and such an inconsistent schedule might make things worse.
The study, published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology, has shown that sleeping in on the weekend can only help the body recover mildly but its effects do not last and even showed worse outcomes on some measures.
