For example: If you normally sleep 7 hours per day and one day you only get 5 hours of sleep, chances are that the next day when you fall sleep you will sleep for around 9 hours. Or if you only sleep for a normal 7 hours that day you will still need more than 7 hours the day after that to feel fully rested.

This is pretty much conjecture on my part, but my understanding is that a big function of sleep is to kinda flush and rebalance the chemicals in the brain.
So as long as the ratios are off, you’re still in “debt”.
