A member asked:
How much sleep debt can be caught up? like if you don't sleep much for 2 nights.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Probablydependsprobably not too much unless you sleep for a prolonged period of time but your body will probably argue with you. You will probably need a week or so of nightly extra sleep to recover.
