Sleep debt accumulates and harms performance. Here’s how to recover effectively.
What is Sleep Debt?
Cumulative sleep loss over days/weeks. Even 1 hour nightly creates significant debt.
Recovery Strategies
Add 30-60 minutes extra sleep nightly for a week. Weekend catch-up helps partially.
Naps
20-minute power naps restore alertness. 90-minute naps complete full sleep cycle.
Conclusion
Prevent sleep debt through consistency. Recovery takes days, not one long sleep.
