Is getting 6 hours of sleep one night and 10 hours the next equivalent to sleeping 8 hours and 8 hours?
In: Biology
It’s not a 1:1, but everyone likes to pretend that “catching up” does nothing and it’d be the same as if you just constantly deprived yourself. Anecdotally, that has not been my experience at all, and I think people are full of shit. These are probably the same people who say there is “zero” nutrition in a McDonalds quarter pounder. Sure, a straight 8 on a regular sleep schedule is ideal, but shit happens.
I also bodybuild, and not trying to catch up noticeably slows down my muscle recovery if I shorted myself the day beforehand
