In celebration of National Make Your Bed Day here is a sleep themed Fun Fact Friday!
Did you know that...
"One small study, by researchers at Penn State University, found that binge sleeping on weekends only reverses some of the deficits accumulated throughout a week of sleep deprivation. Even after getting what researchers called "recovery sleep," participants with restricted sleep schedules in the study performed worse on attention tests than they did with healthy sleep schedules.
The real solution, then, isn't trying to make up for lost sleep, but fixing the underlying sleep schedule that leads to binge snoozing." (Lopez, 2015)
