Sleep during "lockdown" highlighted the need to rethink the concept of weekend catch-up sleep.

ABSTRACT: Many people believe in their ability to sleep for longer time on weekends to make up for sleep lost due to early wakeups on weekdays. This widely held belief was not supported by the simulations of rise- and bedtimes on weekdays and weekends with a sleep-wake regulating model. The simulations suggested the inability to extend sleep on any of two weekend nights and they predicted identical weekend sleep durations for weeks with relatively earlier and relatively later weekday risetimes. By April 2020, about half of the world's population was under some form of "lockdown" due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This "lockdown" provided a new opportunity to demonstrate the predictive power of the sleep-wake regulating models. Therefore, the purpose of this report was to support the prediction of identit
