Recovery sleep on the weekend doesn't help: Study

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:38:22 GMT

Some early birds don't get much sleep during the week with the expectation that they'll make it up during the weekend. However, a new study says waiting to catch up on zzzs doesn't work. Map: One part of California drinks more than others, study finds Penn State University measured the sleeping habits of men ages 20 to 35. They were only allowed to sleep five hours during the week and then 10 hours on the weekend. Researchers found that the extra hours had no impact on the participants' baseline levels of sleep. In fact, the study found the participants had higher heart rates, which could lead to more heart problems as they age. (Unsplash) “Only 65% of adults in the U.S. regularly sleep the recommended seven hours per night, and there's a lot of evidence suggesting that this lack of sleep is associated with cardiovascular disease in the long term,” said Anne-Marie Chang, associate professor of biobehavioral health and co-author of the work published in the journal Psychosoma...

Paravi Examines Her Skeleton: Rising singer and songwriter Paravi has released new single “Skeleton” via RCA Records. It’s a soulful, emotional pop tune that has a chorus reminiscent of Florence + the Machine’s most epic moments. With a rap ending.“This is a song about being the amalgamation of my parents, my chosen family, and my ancestors,” says Paravi. “For the first time in my life, I found myself questioning whether or not I’m good enough, talented enough, special enough to reach the levels of success and impact I’ve always dreamt of. I sat with myself and asked who the most powerful people in my life were, the most compassionate, kind, and hopeful. And the answers were my parents, my brother, my grandparents, and my relatives in India. My chosen family.”“I realized it was the people whose blood runs in my veins,” she continues. “I am a part of them. I am literally part of my mother and father, my ancestors…our f...

BAY VALLEY ATHLETIC LEAGUE(Predicted order of finish)No. 1 PITTSBURGCoach: Charlie Ramirez2022 record: 12-3What to expect: It’s a new era in Pittsburg football, as for the first time in over two decades, Victor Galli will not lead the Pirates on Friday nights. Taking the reins is longtime defensive coordinator Charlie Ramirez. If last year’s team was defined by seniors Jaden Rashada and a bevy of Division I wide receivers, this year’s unit will be led by a star-studded defense and a stacked junior class. Junior safety Jadyn Hudson is getting national recruiting attention, as is fellow highly-touted junior edge-rusher Jewelous Walls. Junior linebacker Etene Pritchard led the NorCal Division I champions in tackles. Junior quarterback Marley Alcantara threw for 14 touchdowns as a backup and spot starter, and could be the next great Pittsburg quarterback. Junior running back Elijah Bow is a tough runner and scored 16 touchdowns as a sophomore. Pittsburg’s challenging non-league schedule...
