Weekend Sleep Debt

A four-week plan to keep weekend wake times close to weekday timing while gradually allowing more sleep on weeknights. A short, early Saturday nap can be used when needed.

or get coached through it

This four-week plan steadies your body clock by keeping weekend wake times close and moving weeknight bedtime earlier.

Four Week Rhythm

Repeat these check-ins each week while bedtime shifts earlier.

How It Works

One weekend wake rule and gradual weeknight changes address the schedule mismatch.

Keep Wake Times Close

Choose your weekday wake time and get up no more than one hour later on weekends.

Nap Before Three

If you are truly short on sleep, take one 20-minute Saturday nap before 3 pm, then keep a normal bedtime.

Shift Bedtime Slowly

Move weeknight bedtime 15 minutes earlier each week until weeknight sleep is within one hour of the amount your weekend sleep suggested.

Reduce Monday Jet Lag

Large Saturday sleep-ins can shift your body clock and make Monday mornings feel like crossing time zones.
