Sleep depravation and resulting sleep debt is brought on by a lack of quality sleep. Although it is very common for apnea sufferers to have developed a sleep debt, others without apnea can also have accumulated a debt.
Each individual is different in his accumulation of a sleep debt. Apnea suffers will vary in their conditions, as well as their total sleep times and their individual needs.
The time necessary to pay off sleep debt also varies with sleep time, needs, and therapy success.
A lot has been written on the subject in past posts. Use the "Search" link at the top of the page and do some looking around. It is a subject that I think everyone should be aware of.
