Frequently Asked Questions

Can sleep debt be repaid?

Partially. A long weekend can repay some acute debt. Chronic multi-year deprivation has permanent effects.

What is microsleep?

Involuntary 1-5 second sleep episodes in severely deprived people. Extremely dangerous while driving.

Does sleep affect weight?

Yes — sleep deprivation increases ghrelin (hunger hormone) and decreases leptin (fullness hormone).
