Abstract

Among 35 pairs of students, mean sleep duration on weekends was practically identical regardless of weekday risetimes.

  • Simulations suggested that weekend sleep duration does not increase to compensate for lost sleep on weekdays.
  • Empirical data confirmed that students with different weekday wake-up times had similar weekend sleep durations.
  • This phenomenon remained consistent across two subsets of students based on their weekday risetimes.
  • The findings indicate a potential irrecoverable loss of sleep associated with earlier weekday wake-ups.
