Participants who managed to catch up on extra rest over the weekend were found to have better heart health outcomes compared to those who consistently lost sleep.
But here's the catch—this actually contradicts what we typically recommend. Consistency is key for quality sleep, and sticking to the same sleep schedule seven days a week is still the best approach!
However, if you've had a few rough nights, this study suggests that catching up on sleep might be better than not at all.
