Can You Really Catch Up on Lost Sleep? | Pt 3

Can a weekend lie-in really help you catch up on lost sleep, or is repaying your sleep debt more complicated than that?In Part 3, Dr Alex George and research scientist Dr Kathryn Bates put common sleep myths to the test in Myth, Fact and It's Complicated. They explore catch-up sleep, power naps and whether napping deserves its lazy reputation. Plus, do you really need morning sunlight within the first 10 minutes of waking, and does sleeping in a cold room help you sleep better?No lectures. No easy answers.
