“However, results from this study show that having just one night of sleep loss can significantly impair your daily functioning.”

When Lee looked at data across consecutive days of sleep loss, the mental and physical symptoms stayed elevated and didn’t return to baseline levels unless the participants had a night of sleep that lasted more than six hours. The biggest increase in symptoms was after the first night of sleep loss, and the rate slowed with additional days of sleep loss.

This suggests that putting effort into breaking a cycle of bad sleep would be better for overall health than pushing it to the weekend
