00:00 It's been a long week, so you decide to treat yourself to a much-needed weekend sleep-in.
00:05 But is a weekend sleep catch-up a good idea?
00:13 The danger in trying to recover your lost sleep by sleeping in later on the weekend,
00:21 particularly if you stay up later on Friday and Saturday nights, what this does is delay
00:29 your body clock.
00:30 What we know as the Monday morning blues is partly explained by a lot of people who don't
00:37 get adequate sleep on Sunday night, and they're just sleep-deprived to some extent.
00:42 At least one night on the weekend, help to pay that back by going to bed a bit earlier.
00:48 Because if you go to bed a little bit earlier and then sleep in a little bit later, you'll
00:54 repay that debt without shifting the timing of your body clock.
