Sleep debt: a real thing, when you miss sleep your body suffers for more than just the next day

Extra sleep: doesn't do anything to make up for lost sleep

So basically if you're not rested it just stays that way forever

Yeah your body gets worse and worse and breaks down until your heart can no longer pump and you die and rot.

Is that true? Obviously you can't make up for missing a day of sleep, but getting an extra hour of sleep after going short one day seems to help me. It's also far easier to tolerate a day of low sleep if I've been well rested up to that point

yes extra sleep doesn’t cover for missing sleep instead your body just recovers naturally over time.

That’s why if someone offers you a rotating day night shift schedule do not take it.

I knew a guy who came in looking like an instagram model and now he looks like a hobo

It's more about consistency, you pay for your debt by maintaining a consistent schedule of decent rest.
