He lost me at "sleep debt" I have to be honest. All the current research I've read suggests there is no such thing (unless he just means "your a bit tired" :) which he could well do).
Im not convinced this is a good idea though (I'd like to see a link to the research he cites - done a bit of digging but I cant find it offhand).
Better to wake yourself up with Orang Juice and exercise.
- feint 17y agoThe research: http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/310/6979/565 http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/310/6979/565 There is no such thing as a sleep debt in the sense that it accumulates over a week. You could go days without sleep and only need 8 hours to get back to perfect. However, in the course of a 24 hour period. If you only have 4 hours of sleep you obviously have a sleep debt of 3-4 hours and need to take a power nap or something
