Comment on How much of my sleep debt do I need to pay off?

Sleep debt itself is a weird metric. You can’t “pay it back”, lost sleep is lost sleep, period.
The body doesn’t keep track, the body just complains. You might feel weird if there is a dramatic change to your sleep schedule.

So what we’re really talking about here is not sleep debt, but rather, sleep loss.

Honestly one could probably make a comparison to a loan shark, you keep paying it off but the interest is so high and you keep borrowing more you just stay in debt and keep sinking deeper.

That’s an apt analogy. I was just thinkin this is loss.
