    Frequently asked questions

    How is sleep debt calculated?▾

    Sleep debt is the difference between the sleep you need and the sleep you got. If you need 8 hours but slept 49 hours in a week, your debt is 56 − 49 = 7 hours.

    Can you catch up on sleep debt?▾

    Short-term debt can be repaid gradually by sleeping an extra hour or two per night or taking short naps, rather than one very long lie-in.

    How much sleep do adults need?▾

    Most adults need 7 to 9 hours per night, teenagers 8 to 10 hours and adults over 65 about 7 to 8 hours.
