Say for instance .. I am awake longer and sleep .. say .. 3 hours for that night .. I have 2 hours less sleep .. or there about .. and Im never gonna catch it .. because its historical .. past ..
I call this the sleep debt .. and it may accrue over a short or long period of time .. say I go a week of 3 hours sleep when Im used to 6 and I have accrued 21 hours of sleep debt ..
There are 168 hours in one week .. just another way of looking at it ..

Sleep debt? Now that's looking at it in a negative light...
Just think of all the extra time that you spend awake, constantly learning new and exciting things  . Kinda hard to experience life when your unconscious on a bed  .
I enjoy being awake and can't stand the thought that whilst I'm sleeping, I could be awake doing something.
I'd much rather experience life in a conscious state .

sleep debt is a perfectly acceptable way of looking at it, its actually how I do it  I aim for 9 hours a night, if you get 8 then you have to sleep 10 the next night to make up, otherwise it just accumulates and eventually I crash

Circadian rythm anyone? |
I generally sleep anywhere between 4-6 hours. Sometimes less, sometimes more depending on what my body demands.
Generally speaking though, my circadian rhythm dictates that while I may go to bed at 2 a.m, 3 a.m, 4 a.m - I will (unless drug induced) awake at precisely 6:20 a.m., even though I may have woke several times in the night.
I set my alarm clock "just in case" but there really is no need for it. |

There happens to be more than one level of consciousness ..
Try sleeping .. you may discover a new level .. which is kinda hard to discover when you always live in the dark of night .. which you kindly have phrased .. the .. negative light ..

"Sleep debt" is precisely what it is. According to a doctor I've spoken to, you can make up for lost sleep, but you can't "bank" sleep for lost hours still to come.

I'm an insomniac, it ususally takes me about 3 hours to fall asleep, maybe more. I think the problem is that I have trouble taking my mind off the fact that I'm trying to sleep, so it never happens.
