When homework and tests keep you up late at night,you may plan to make up for your lost
sleep during the weekends.But is it useful
A study published in the journal Current Biology shows that the habit of sleeping in on
weekends doesn't fix the damage that has been done by a lack of sleep during the week.Even
worse,it may damage your health.
In the study,which was conducted over 10 days,36 healthy young men and women with
different sleep requirements were divided into three groups.The first group were asked to sleep
nine hours a night and the second group five hours a night.The members of the third group slept
for five hours on weekdays but rested as long as they wanted on the weekend.
The researchers found that people who lacked sleep ate more snacks and gained weight
quickly.However,this wasn't the case for the first group.
