All-Nighter Recovery?

Question

Okay, so I had a sleepless night last night and I tried everything to fall asleep, but it never happened. I have to work a double shift at work today and I won’t be able to get home until around 7:30/8pm. How long should I sleep tonight? I have to be up at 9am tomorrow morning to be at work again.

Answer

I’d probably aim for 7.5 hours to catch up a little, but then I only ever usually get 4 a night so that’s just based on my sleep habits. You should try to time it correctly so your sleep fits an increment of 1.5 hours (so 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9) as sleep cycles are this long and waking up mid cycle can make you feel more tired and groggy- 6 hours is better than 6.5 or 7 for example.
