Have you ever tried to make up your sleep debt? If so, what seemed to work for you? Also, has anyone seen a doctor/specialist or read any recent books or research about making up sleep debt? What have you learned about it?
I've been sleep deprived sincle last July due to my son's minor accident at a swimming pool. He's fine, but when it happened I stayed up two nights straight to watch him. That triggered a cycle of sleep deprivation, including trembling and the sensation that my heart must work harder, both of which keep me awake at night, which triggers more sleep loss and anxiety. My main concern is reversing the damage to my heart. Has anyone experienced something similar?
