by InstaSleep · Nov 10, 2017

InstaSleep Reviews Team article notes:

  • Two nights of 10 hours of sleep will not erase the damage of sleeping only six hours every other night of the week.
  • The false perception that you can make up sleep is counterproductive — basically helping people justify their erratic sleep habits and preventing them from adopting better ones.

This article was selected by the InstaSleep Reviews Team. Please enjoy this read about how sleeping in on weekends will not erase the damage of sleeping less during the week.
