## Resource

I don’t know about you but for me not having to set an alarm on a Saturday or Sunday morning is really one of life’s simple pleasures. With my packed work schedule and family life, I often don’t end up getting as much sleep as I need during the week. So it’s really tempting to try to catch up on that sleep debt over the weekend. But then I heard about these studies that have shown that weekend lie-ins can actually be harmful to human health. What kind of harm are we talking about? Like jet lag from flying? What’s the best way to make up for lost sleep? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
