I recall an article that claimed you build up sleep debt and have to pay it back with equal time oversleeping.
Obviously there is an upper limit on how much sleep debt any one can accumulate.
In my personal experience, getting enough sleep and not "slipping" requires real discipline.
A good sleep schedule ain't easy to stick to, but it's worth it in the long.
