For those that don't know or think you might know. The humasn body does not have the ability to "store" or the ability to "make up" missed sleep or rest.

Here's a better example or way to explain that:

Lets say you usually sleep 7 hours a night, & that is what your body is used to. So any less and you feel tired the next day.

Now lets say you only get 5 hours of sleep, for what ever reason, one night. Then the next night you are able to sleep for 9 hours.

You are not "making up" the 2 hours you "missed" the night before.

Now lets say you either know before hand or you just simply want to sleep for 12 hours one night then for only 2 the next thinking that you are "storing" 5 hours sleep and rest on the night you slept for 12 hours so you can function, without being tired, on the day after you sleep only 2 hours.

Again your body is not storing the 5 hours of rest or sleep from the 12 hour night. Our bodies are incapable of doing that.

Don't believe me? try it. But it is not how the human body was designed and/or works when it comes to getting rest and sleep.
