Can a weekend lie-in really help you catch up on lost sleep, or is repaying your sleep debt more complicated than that?In Part 3, Dr Alex George and research scientist Dr Kathryn Bates put common sleep myths to the test in Myth, Fact and It's Complicated. They explore catch-up sleep, power naps and whether napping deserves its lazy reputation.
