Why is permanent damage so hard to believe? If you listen to loud noises, you get permanent damage that you can't undo by staying quiet.
If you leave your hand on a hot stove too long, you can get permanent skin damage.

Im pretty sure the book doesn't say 'you get better but lose 0.1% each time' it says you can't make it up at all. If I had 4 hours sleep tonight I would feel horrible tomorrow, but even a 20min power nap would improve things.

The idea of “making it up” is a linear concept not entirely fit for the system. You can get back somewhat and you can’t undo everything.
