You're tired. Not just "could use a nap" tired, but bone deep, "I can't remember the last time I felt truly rested" tired. This isn't a moral failing. It's a debt, and like any debt, you can calculate it, understand it, and pay it back. This chapter is about getting an honest number on your sleep deficit, without judgment or shame. Forget the idea that you can "catch up" on sleep with one epic weekend snooze. That's like trying to pay off a mortgage with a single lottery ticket. Sleep debt accumulates, and it takes consistent effort to reduce it.
