So naps the same day catch it up? I will often wake up and be unable to get back to sleep. I am able to sleep later in the day after I have walked, and had food.
I finished most of the book, but don’t remember seeing what he wrote on this.
- heymijo 8y agoWalker seems to say no, it doesn't catch it up. "Can naps help with sleep debt? Walker: And the answer, unfortunately, is no. Sleep is actually not like the bank. You can't accumulate a debt and then hope to pay it off at some later point in time. So sleep is an all-or-nothing event in that sense. So you can't short sleep during the week and then try to binge and oversleep at the weekend." https://www.businessinsider.com/sleep-expert-naps-dangerous-health-science-matthew-walker-science-2017-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/sleep-expert-naps-dangerous-...
- heymijo 8y agoThat's not to say naps have no benefit for people who don't have trouble sleeping at night. Walker's research shows that naps can help boost memory and learning. https://news.berkeley.edu/2010/02/22/naps_boost_learning_capacity/ https://news.berkeley.edu/2010/02/22/naps_boost_learning_cap...
