Sleep debt

Sleep debt accumulates when you consistently get less sleep than you need, creating a deficit your body carries forward, impairing judgment, emotion regulation, and metabolic health in ways you stop noticing because impairment includes reduced self-awareness. Unlike financial debt, sleep debt can be repaid, but only when paid off with actual sleep.
