Catch up sleep?

Posted by KCarr on May 11, 1998 at 17:10:37:

My husband works a 10 hour night shift M-F, getting only 6 or so hours of sleep during the day. He insists that he can "Catch up" on sleep by sleeping 10 or more hours a night on the weekends? I thought I had read that you could not "Catch up" on sleep like that... Anyone know where I could find some information on this? Thanks.
