    I had a week off last week the weekend I slept in as usual but on the second work day off I got super tired like 4 hours before I usually go to sleep, passed out and then slept through basically all of the day, sleeping about 18 hours in total, then sleeping again a few hours later at my normal time.

    That felt like I finally slept the sleep that needed to be slept

      Sleep specialists on a podcast I used to follow said it is entirely possible to catch up on sleep. It is not a myth. It is proven science.

      It is a very unique feeling to feel true rest once in years, I sleept for 16 hours straight, never felt so rested and functional again.
