#Causes Explained

Q Even sleeping ten hours at the weekend does not clear my fatigue — I feel heavier.

A Catching up in one block disturbs the sleep rhythm and lowers the efficiency of recovery. Waking late pushes the next night's sleep later, and that misalignment makes Monday morning heavier. Rising at the same time each day matters more than total hours.

Detailed Answer

Repaying the weekday deficit at the weekend is like repeating jet lag every week. If your waking time swings by more than two hours, the body tires from constantly adapting to a different rhythm. If you want to top up at the weekend, a 20 to 30 minute nap beats sleeping in.

Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective

We ask patients to fix the time they get up before the time they go to bed. Once waking is consistent, falling asleep follows. Many people notice the morning heaviness change from keeping just this for two weeks.
