Been burning the candle at both ends again?

FGs, if you must combine the world of night owl and early bird, then it is worth keeping tabs on your catch-up sleep!!  A study on sleep at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Medicine, showed that an occasional lie-in can help those who routinely don’t get enough sleep.  You know who you be!  This study of 142 adults with severe sleep deprivation, showed that they had slower reaction times and had more trouble focusing…”does that say 10 squats, or 100?” – worth being able to focus FGs!!

However, an extra hour or two of sleep in the morning after a period of sleep being restricted to four hours a night, resulted in huge improvements in the symptoms of sleep deprivation.  Worth the lie in FGs.  Truly.  However, before you go painting the town red, note that for severe sleep deprivation, even an extra 10 hours recovery sleep may not be enough.  You have been warned!!
