Lost Sleep Can't Be Made Up, Study Suggests

If you think staying in bed on the weekends will make up for a weeks' worth of sleep deprivation, think again. A new study finds that going long periods without sleep can lead to a sort of "sleep debt" that cannot simply be undone with a little extra snoozing from time to time.

The study involved a small number of participants, however, so further research would be needed to verify the results.

I've always found a quick 40 winks in the day will set you back on track. This study was only done on a small number of people though - always amazes me how they come up with these studies

Always have a siesta in the afternoon for about an hour and her who will be obeyed does the same and put the teasmade on and one of the daughters in law gets us the cream cakes in the morning .
Its a hard life

Must confess I woke up very early and have already had my 40 winks for the day - on top of the world now
