Sleep is a cornerstone of health and wellness, with sleep deprivation linked to poor health, early death, and higher rates of illnesses. Yet, there seems to be a myth that we can catch up on sleep on the weekend, to balance out poor weeknight sleep.

Some research challenges this assumption: not only are we NOT catching up on sleep, we’re not doing enough to counter the metabolic problems associated with the sleep loss.
